I have experienced both King rule and politicians rule. during king rule there has been total discipline though corruption existed because of the poverty. but when politicians took over it was large scale and spread to every walks of life. from the peon to the highest officer in a department was corrupt because it is democracy. efficiency went down and poor man remained where they were and rich became more rich. whether it is china or india backs, politics will make again corrupt and let the king rule in a disciplined way
