Politics?! Would you really stay to watch a debate about two plummers, shepherds, carpenters, unemployees, or something else?! It would be interesting only if they're rivals, that's it!!
I think politics is a profession, as many others are. In these terms it is comprehensive to believe that many politicians behave like any other professional worker in the business market, under the same rules. The only difference is that the politics consume words and promises. In order to be as long as possible on the rim of their "market", they often create cartels and bargain in "market" maneuvers. It explains the war into the parties and the lies they're forced to say too often, doing almost nothing. I comprehend that at the very low levels there are people that promise and battle to obtain some doings and havings. But that's all. The higher you observe, the les they do. It has some explains, which I think is the war there's in doing the interests of the rich people they're linked or depended to. The wealthy people, in order to have contracts and market help themselves linking to the politics that count. In this manner, the internal battles in the parties are very often under the spotlights. But they don't care, because it's like this it works. The problem is that too many people believe too much in the politics. It's obsolete to report the gains and facilitations the most of them have, doing just nothing but lying and cheating and derailing smartly needs of the people they represent to tracks more interesting for them. They may do everything they want and can, until they get voted and even backed. I understand that they're not all equal. There are serious people too, but they don't count and can't be involved in high risk stuff where the big sharks dare and dine. I see all it happens under this light and it turns in right this terms.
In regard with democracy, it simply does not exists. The men voted by the people, once seating in a parliament seat are no more able to make the will of the people they're voted from, simply because they have to deal with many others, by their side voted by other people with other if not contrary interests. So, it is not simply the politician to blame for doing or undoing a determinated thing, but the democracy as it is conceived and expected to work by the mass. The fact is that the politicians, even when they know they can do nothing to change or obtain a thing they lie, and make maneuvers, often against the will of their electors, following links and lobies they enter in lucrative relationships the power offers to them. So, let's forget the democracy and its representers. If we take a look at the legal status of the most of politicians, at least here in Italy, they're often under legal investigations by the judges, almost always regarding the power abuse of the rank facilitations they provide to industrials and bankers in spite of others. Very often it involves the health and the life of many people. And none of them pays for those crimes. As it's a legal exception if it's about them. All this mess and wrongdoings they do by being voted, which they vaive every time they get caught. Just take a look to their deeds and says during electoral campaigns they hold. Then, do yoy really think it's a democrazy, when a side takes the 45% and the other side 55%? |
