Title: The Purposes of Politicians
Theoretically. the Purpose of Politicians is to reflect the composite Will of the People
and to further the People’s Causes.
It is certainly not to promote their own Values, Morals or Principals.
In practice, however, they seek to further their own needs first,
and thus, if the need to get re-elected, conflicts with “What is Good” for the People,
they will always sacrifice what is good for the People
and instead do what is good for them.
