The Supreme Court recently ruled that PDAF was unconstitutional. But the claim that this was a major defeat for patronage politics and corruption is unrealistic and betrays a misunderstanding of the true nature of politics, both electoral and dictatorial. The SC ruling, is at best, a minor victory against corruption.
