This article examines the correlation between money politics and political corruption, and suggests the importance of political parties’ reform as a necessary solution, particularly regarding the recruitment of election candidates, political party financing, and voter education. This agenda is important because the roots of nomination and vote buying mainly come from political parties’ problems.
