Those steps are well outlined but it is a psychologial war of wills once you have come into a position of power. Can your deception outwiegh your corruption? If so you will succeed. Temporarily.

As a politician you need to be able to speak for all those you represent, or at least appear to.  Sometimes you have to make compromises to achieve what you are after.  Some of those in public life are better at this than others.

Throw them a life preserver - the politician will try to talk the lawyer into giving it up and the lawyer will sue for it....I personally would sell tickets to the show and then go have lunch AND a movie; ticket sales would provide enough moolah for both, and then some......

Jail if they find out.

Because the assumption is that when a politician is elected, they are expected to make the right decisions and lead wisely. When the make the wrong decisions and do not lead wisely, there is no longer a point to them having been elected in the first place - and therefore they would lose the job.\n\nHowever, I think this mindset is silly. Politicians are humans like everyone else, and will make some honest mistakes. We should realise that this will happen and leave them to it, as long as its occasional, and genuine human error.\nHowever, dishonesty and fraud in politics i consider vile. Theres nothing wrong with making a mistake, but trying to cover it up, embellish it, or trying to pass the blame is wrong, and it is for this that we should punish politicians. Plus if they make mistakes all the time, they are obviously incompetent and should go.\n\nEdit: FreedomHammer is also correct, some are just egotistical prats\n\n2nd edit: MOST are egotistical prats

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.

OK, I don't like the man one bit.  But how can it be "hiding out" when he's the most public figure in the country?  Don't you think he is entitled to ANY privacy?  He knows his party is going to be humiliated, and mostly because of his incompetence, so wouldn't you want to be alone at a time like that?

no, it would just perpetuate an injustice.  encourage that person to report to the police and tell him what matters most will be that "the truth shall set us free."

It does, if the party is implicit about it. If they are fully aware that one of their star politicians is corrupt, but let him get away with it anyway. Then the party is corrupt for helping him. But if the party really didn't know that their politician was corrupt, then it does not make the party corrupt.

It would save us the stomach aches if we could keep politicians accountable for their official statements and activities.

It could be seen either way, or both\n\nfor the families of the victims, they could consider it revenge, but the gov. will call it punishment to avoid certain charges

Well he does lie like a politician so why not.

I think some small percentage of people might, but ONE of the hardest things a person can do is to admit when they have made a mistake.\n\nEspecially if they have spent considerable time (months, years, etc.) defending their position and insisting they were right.\n\nAnd that applies to many things...not just George W.
