I would think that giving incumbents more power to remain incumbents would increase corruption rather than decrease it. Less to fear because opposition candidates wouldn't have the power to unseat them, therefore guaranteeing the incumbent keeps his/her seat warm for the next term. But, that's only my observation from watching office-holders who have been in ever since the Dawn of Man, building up ever more power, and becoming more corrupt in the process.
