Politicians lead by their example.
How many times have we heard, "I did nothing illegal," as a defense for doing something that was clearly morally and ethically wrong?
It's what happens when laws crafted by special interests replace time-honored principles as the standard; when political parties replace principles among the electorate; when lesser of two evils is acceptable, and voting for the best person is called "throwing away your vote."
If "leaders" are not accountable, then "followers" by nature will follow that lead.
