In some countries most citizens are more corrupt than the leader so I won't put the blame on the leader alone if the economy is bad and if the economy is good I would say it's a collaborative effort from both the leader and the citizens.

How is that possible? Corrupt citizens would elect a corrupt leader so they can continue being corrupt otherwise corruption would be annihilated if the leader means well. A good leader can and should correct his citizens, in my opinion.

It is the right of the citizens to elect a good leader right?Now, I've seen corrupt citizens (politicians) elect a leader of their choice for their own selfish desires and they control the leader to do their biding. Even a good leader can be manipulated. Like you said, a good leader can and should correct his citizens. But what if these citizens are more powerful than the leader do you think the leader stands a chance in making corrections?

a leader is just "one man" and making decisions for an entire country shouldn't rest on his/her shoulders alone,

I don’t know if you mean it literally but even a president is never alone on making decisions unless he is a dictator. The government compromises of a lot of members with different purposes. As citizens, we ought to vote for those who we think can make a difference alongside the president. While the president chooses who he wants on his cabinet.

It is true that the government compromises of a lot of members with different purposes, I can boldly say that some of those members with different purposes does more harm than good and we all as citizens put the blame on the leader. Most of these government board members after making good decisions for the country with the president could turn and change things to benefit them alone without the notice of the president. A president could order for a certain amount of money/foodstuff to be taken to a certain location for the citizens of the country and these so called government members could even choose not to deliver the exact amount mentioned by the president and the president won't even know about it.
