A politician has 2 responsibilities in the Western World.....
1) Get into office
2) Stay in office
This is of course, the observed attitude of most politicians.
They will promise the earth to be elected, and when elected,
do just enough to ensure re-election. The few campaign promises
that are ever fulfilled, usually occur within a short period
before re-election time, in order to capitalise on successes.....
Sometimes the notion of democratic autocracy appeals, with the
threat of a bullet to ensure a ballet at appropriate
times....._____________________________________________________________
