I'm not sure if there is, either, but the debate is open over here about whether we should hold our MPs subject to more rules or simply have the expectation that they are good, upstanding people who want to do their jobs honestly. Obviously the latter is the ideal, but it seems to be a bit too much to ask at the moment.
I'm all for central government getting their noses out of issues which can and should be handled at a local level, but there are some things which have to be handled centrally. I'm trying to imagine a US with a government as you describe and all I can see is chaos.
