politics and politicians

We have just been through a national election. I am certain the candidates, especially the Presidential candidates, spent a fortune in the campaigns. Now that the elections are over, and the winners declared, the losers have come up with all sorts of reasons why the elections should be nullified because as far as they are concerned they were not fare and free. They tell us it is all about protecting us, the public. I wonder if it is really about us and not about them!!! Do these politicians really care about us that much?

Hi friend thanks for sharing this. Politics itself reserved for the bad people. All those who knows how to lure, dupe, kill, fight, hurt are joining politics to satisfy their evil needs. I don't like politics and politics is not considered as a job but an actual crime. They only think of themseleves. They don2 believe what they say but he is surprised when others (We) believe them. Even if politicians want to become sincere but unfortunately the system will not allow them to be sincere. All sorts of useless, uneducated, illeterate, bloody fool are joining politics just to satisfy their evil needs. Politicians are the biggest gamere. They only think of themselves, and they don't look after the welfare of the society, except at the time of asking vote they act sincerity and innocent. We complains about bad roads, corrupt politicians and unfair reservation but what they are doing about? Nothing. Except predenting like a deaf. ''Politicians itself reserved for the bad people''.

It is a pity, but instead of being for the very best (to be in public service) it turns out that what you say is true. It is everywhere, throughout the world. And it will be like that until we, all of us, stop thinking that money is God and we start having ideals and fraternity.

When it comes to politicians no matter where you are in the United States or Kenya most are all in it for themselves. They don't really give a crap about the people. They are looking to make changes that will benefit themselves and their pockets. Rest assure when they say its all about protecting the public its really about protecting themselves and what they can put into their pockets. Politics and politicians are crooked to the core no matter where you go in the world.

I have come to hate the word "politicians". In my country there is a massive amount of money spent before elections. A lot of that money could be used in another way and help the people instead of polliting everywhere with posters with smilian names and false promises. Politics, as I see it, care basically about themselves and the money that they will get while they are in office.

we all know that all politicians want the position as one or belong to the group who will rule the country,and of course the money that they can earn too in that position,so they are lucky when they win and if they loose then try to have the luck again next campaign.

It is rare for politicians to think about others. Their thought are for themselves, that is how to be elected. Once they are elected they will forget with what they said before. I personally can not trust them. Several time I did vote, the outcome is the same whatever the party nor the person.

Hi friend, i don't think politicians are worrying and carting about the normal persons, they are very selfish and thinking about themselves, they only think about the people during the election time.

For me I think so most Politicians are greedy they run for Office and self protection lucky for us to get one who is true to his word, Even religious people are now mingling with politics. Just observe politicians become more rich while people become poorer.
