    Not in America, in America a bribe is when a politician puts down in writing that they voted a certain way because someone gave them money for that specifically, anything else is just normal, according to the supreme court anyway.

      Germany has copied this. It’s the same here now. If a politician doesn’t agree in writing that he was paid to vote for or against a certain law, it is not corruption.
