What is your aim of going into politics?

Thank you for that.

you're welcome. Goodluck to yah.

From your contribution,i can see why some Countries prefer Militry rules. POlitician have misleaded a lot of people.However today's world politics is against the militry rule and they are trying very hard to face out all militry Government,well this might be good in many ways but i also think that they want every Country to danse to thesame tune,which personally i don't think it's possible.

Well, I suppose it all depends on which country you come from. I think if I lived in the USA and entered politics, I would do so because I would enjoy the perks of being in office -oooppps;-), I mean I would enjoy the perks of being able to make a difference to the lives of my constituents. I mean, I think allot of politcians do start off with some good ideals about wanting to help people but become more jaded as they get older. However, I think even if you have a small alderman's job, helping the neighbourhood school could be something very satisfying. When it comes to American politicians, I think the best ones are usually at the local level - I think Richard M Daley,Mayor of Chicago is in politics because he does have a genuine affection for the city he runs (he also knows it easier to get things done at the City level than at the National).

But I don't live in the States, I live in Singapore, which, although small on the global scale, has quite an interesting political structure. I think if I did go into politics, I would do so because I was hungry to make real changes and I would also be very happy to soak up the attention of the people. The government here is very influential and its footprint is nearly everywhere. So as a politician, I think my ability to influence lives would be greater than that of politicians in any other country.

Of course, the money is not too bad for Singapore's politicians. Our Prime Minister only earns four times what the US President does for running a country that is not even equivalent to a suburb of LA or New York.
