If they are corrupt, they might not need our acceptation. They figure everything among themselves and resolve everything, bribe, pay, buy, in order to make you think they're accepted. But they're not.

Maybe the answer to your question is that all the honest people who would do a very good job don't have the funds to run for any political office.\nThe ones with the money have more then likely bought their way up the political ladder and with so much money to back them they also can't be trusted but are still in office.\nIf and when you ever do find this person that you are looking for please let me know so I can join in on trying to get him/her elected, okay.\nPersonally this task may take you into the 22nd century and beyond but good luck in your search anyway.

yes, in order to be a politician, you have to be a great manipulator, but not a liar... in fact, nobody can tell the truth everytime, so what politicians do is to tell the truth in a way that it is convenient. I see nothing wrong with that. Instead of saying "I hate you", they may say "I don't like you very much"

seeing as how the Nigerian government is one of the most corrupt in Africa, I am not sure how anyone could believe they either manage or administrate anything let alone taxes. There is not even the simple rule of law in that horrible place. What bothers me is they have a vote in the UN like everyone else.

We can have abundant power provided politician management is honest. With corrupt politicians you can never improve any thing. don't you know that the chief minister of Maharashtra suspended one electricity board engineer for cutting of his power supply for non payment of electrical bill?\nProbably that engineer will suffer for rest of his life time. \nI am very eager to hear from him or some one else as to what is his fate today?

Very good question. I agree with your assertion about integrity and honor. This means to behave according to reasonable standards of morality, and to accept responsibility for decisions, both good and bad. And to be consistent in our words and deeds as much as possible within a political environment.\nI'd really like a politician who can listen to all viewpoints and make decisions based not on special interests alone, but based on the good of the citizens as a whole.\nThere are times when the ideal politician will even vote against the preferences of the majority in his/her district, if the larger good is enhanced. \nBeing able to resist special interests would be a fundamental quality.

politicians must definitely be punished for doing some mischief as they are the people who control our country. and moreover we the people vote for them thinking that they will improve or develop our country .but instead of doing that ,if they just loiter around doing nothing and just found doing corruption, they mustbe punished more severely than what they are doing now.

Because they're a bunch of hypocrites with double standards. Our govt is stupid, but again it's our fault because we voted them into office.  We should do something to vote them OUT.

They can't please all people all the time but they try which leads to lies and contradictions, they also believe that they are invincible because they are in a position of high power are are able to get away with things without the public doing much because they are elected officials and its rare that the public get together and take action.

Yes they can make any law they want. They often do. We vote them in we can vote them out, but this doesn't appear to do the trick either in many instances. It it my opinion that the corrupt corrupt others, so it is a never ending cycle. Many people have given up, so it mekes their ability to "do what they want" easier.
