Venality

"For who would vindicate your right of unrestrained sufferage or of choosing what representatives you liked best, merely that you might elect the creatures of your own faction, whoever they might be, or him, however small might be his worth, who would give you the most lavish feasts and enable you to drink to the greatest excess?"
John Milton
Second Defense of the English People
1654
