It is looking like telling lies is the prerequisite of becoming a politician. As a matter of fact, there is a way you will tell lies that people will start suspecting you to be a politician. How we get to this point in human history is what no one can explain.
I don't know about your country but in my country, politicians buy over media empires to sell lies and propaganda to the public... I know this is not peculiar to my country. This may be the reason there is a growing distrust between the leaders and the followers.
But is politics supposed to really be about lies? Why is the polity dominating by propaganda?
Hey Odohu, this topic gets my attention though I don't think i do regular post in this section but immediately click on the politics & society I saw this post. From my understanding, politics has been since from man creations (origin of man) and it's something that seems to be in a man and like we know politics is a game which involves lying to gain interest and the process of trying to convince people with sweets words, it creates more room to lie in other to obtain such power(point of interest).

In power you will see the eagerness and inquisitiveness to have willing power to control and subjugate people under them. But the bitter things about politics is that they are usually known as people who aren't sincere or that can do all things be it staining their hands to acquire such power, they would do it with all necessary measures. That is why we must learn to avoid politicians and if you watch carefully I barely post here as I do dislike politics. In all, all politicians are liers and they don't keep to their promises.
