    no, I would probably make bad decisions in the eyes of my constituents (all the while feeling they were the right decisions)

    Most politicians keep everyone pissed off.

    A lot of people on here (well, in everyday life) have something to say about the world and politicians but I think it would be a very hard job to do. I'm not making excuses for anyone. I just think it would be a very hard job to do PROPERLY.

    I care about others to much, and not just about myself, so no I could never be a good politician.

    my mother in law is chairman of the police in my area. She gets on my nerves sometimes but she is a good woman. I don't think they're all corrupt.

    If you and I want to do good for our countries, surely SOME of the ones higher up do as well.

    yes, I'd be a great politician, but would only be a one termer, since I'd do right by citizens, not big business.

    I'm a bad public speaker and communicator.. I think I'd also make decisions that only benefit lower middle class, young white males..

    I'd rather run my own life. :p

    I'd rather be a good leader than a good politician. I think the biggest difference is that good leaders realize you can't make everyone happy but you have to look out for the group as a whole.

    That's a good point. It's something for me to have a think about.

    I have much respect for (most) of the people I know that work in politics, though.

    Yes.

    Would I want to be one? No.

    Something happens to people with the potential to be good politicians when they get together with all the other politicians.
    NOPE!!!

    Seconded, because "everyone" will never be happy, you just have to make the best decisions for them.

    I see politicians as more of deal-makers than leaders. But I would make such radical changes to this society, I'd be booted out in my first term. lol

    I saw the poitricks thing you wrote. I know I personally couldn't do it but maybe politicians become more corrupt as they move further up the line. They say money corrupts. The people that are lesser known don't get payed very much so where does it all go wrong if their intentions are only good? They don't all start off bad. What makes them change, if they do at all?
