given a chance, would you ever join politics?

Politics in itself is not dirty. It is the people that makes it dirty by their own foul play and character. If given the chance or opportunity and if God be willing, I would like to be in politics. But if not, then I believe that we can be a catalyst in many areas of our lives, even outside the political arena. It would be good to be part of the good change.

Hey there! If I was given the chance, I would enter into politics. It a pretty dirty and dangerous thing to become a beacon of change. Here in the Philippines, people who try to fish out corrupt politicians usually end up being roughed up or sometimes even killed. That's why people here are afraid of fighting against corruption. If I were to become a politician, I would try and fight against that.

no..i dont want to end my life so soon..dont want to make it miserable..

It's money and power that makes politics dirty. If given the chance I would join politics but as the saying goes "if you can't break them, join them" which is whats happening even to the ideal once as time goes by. Given the Philippine setting, it's the Filipinos who are primarily at fault on the type of politics we're in. We easily forgive and forget to the point that corruption is becoming a low risk business. Besides, we are more showbiz oriented that we tend to look up at our politicians as celebrities rather than the people who are supposed to serve us. But who is to blame when majority of the people worry more on where to get their next meal rather than find time go over a politician's track record.

No way for now. Maybe in the future when the "culture" of politics have changed. Back in my younger years, I had been a Leader of our local Youth Organization put-up by the Government (Kabataang Barangay). Even in this level of Government, the corruption is rampant. Putting up a new basketball ring on our basketball court will require large amount of money in the budget. Let's say a ring will cost only 100 pesos each in a local shop. The budget allocation reaches up to a few thousand pesos. To much corruption I say.

Politics are to messy and I believe unfulling. It would never interest me to get into politics especially because most of the policitians are phoney and I can't deal with phoney people. They smile and promise you the world then turn around and steal and stab you in the back.

Yeah i would join politics if i had the chance, and politics itself isn't really dirty. Its how people abuse it. Just like anything else in the world.

i would rather stay away from politics and live a simple life. i don't think i can handle the stressful and rigorous process ... from campaign to "my election", hahaha.
i would rather stay aside and be a law-abiding citizen and a conscious voter. that is my little way of helping the nation.

Definitely, i would join Politics if I get a chance. It attracts me more than anything else. I think that I understan my responsibilities. i have grown up in a very political environment nad this might be a reason for this love. I think that, and it is truth, no country is perfect, even the United States. Corruption stands and exists averywhere and it is our duty towards our country to make her free from any type of wrong. i have seen the problems existing in my country and have faced a lot too and so I understand the meaning of Development and Betterment.

I like to live in a simple life as I am living but my mom she is different, she loves to walk in politics and clean it. But i am afraid that its impossible to clean this field instead you become unclean and wash in the blood of innocent people.
