If that's the standard you using, then no the Green Party are certainly not corrupt nor for that matter are either of the two big parties despite everything. (Btw as an aside, know how the CIA basically rigged the post-war Italian elections in order to make the Christian Democrats win over the communists? Despite being maintained for years this is now  not a conspiracy theory)

In general though Joe is Right. Also I suspect due to the nature of many Green Party activists that there is less corruption among the party's rank and file than than the "big two" but I suspect that is true for nearly all third parties.

Per capita, the Green Party is the most corrupt party in Minneapolis, with 50% of its elected officials now in jail for corruption, with the Democrats second. The Minneapolis Republican Party is not corrupt at all, but that's because there might as well not be a Minneapolis Republican Party because they never win anything (I mean that literally by the way. No Republican in Minneapolis has been elected to as much of a school board seat in over a decade)

Huge sample size you are choosing from there. If that was a poll it would a MOE of about 10,000,000%. Anyway I was referring to the rank and file not the politicians.

I mean Corrupt individuals; or individuals that could possibly be corrupt in power. I suspect there is alot more of those in the Democrats or Republicans than in the Greens (or the Libertarians or the Constitutionalists; who probably have the smallest level of corruption of all, unless we bring sex into the equation - in which case the highest). That is the "nature of the big beast".
