If you look at the true meaning, politics is a very good and positive thing. Because politics is actually a science devoted to managing a country so that the country can be prosperous and prosperous. But for now, we cannot deny that all these political meanings are slowly disappearing. Because I'm sure the majority of people in the world now know that the world of politics tends to be about lies, positions and money. So if you call the current political sphere a means of lies, you could say that 50% of it is true.

It's also called government, so propaganda will always exist. Because the government of a country must be able to create innovations, ideas and influence on its people. That is why propaganda acts are always present in the government of any country. But what I know, propaganda is always synonymous with negative things. Such as creating diversion of issues in the form of news, because there is a big problem being covered up by the government, or such as creating an ideology or information, which can make all people suspicious of each other or hate a group.
But in essence, everything that smells of propaganda in the government doesn't always smell negative.
But perhaps because propaganda containing negative things dominates, it makes propaganda containing positive things seem as if they never existed.

Most of people are always interested with too good to be true, that's why propaganda is the best to make people believe them. Citizen don't want to hear about fact and think more critic, they only believe what the politicians are saying because they're more popular and have higher position.

Those politicians have a lot followers, I think the followers are get brainwashed and used to think those politicians are their God.

In contemporary times, the term politics has become a lie in underdeveloped and developing countries and is very closely related to each other.The word lie is deeply associated with politics in the saying that one cannot be a good politician without lying When the leaders of our country go to meetings or associations, they tell big lies and get applause from the people and we the common people applaud them and push them forward to do more corruption.Currently, politicians are using media as a medium to tell lies, and they are being partially successful and the media is forced to spread their lies or else the channel or newspaper is shut down.
Just as we do not lie to our parents, so does Politicians should not lie because country is like parents Some opportunistic people like journalist corruption some people find good place for politicians to lie, and they help to put those leaders in high position lying is a very important part of politics.Being discussed in the present world as an ingredient When leaders from the developed and developing world go to meetings, they pledge to do a variety of things They say they will do good work and tell the truth if they develop the country, but when they pass the polls, they forget it and everyone thinks it's a lie.When a politician gives a speech, we don't understand that it is 100% false, except for one or two lies, now politics is dead In the developed world, the opposite is true of what the leaders in their country say they do, and if they can't, they resign or leave politics, which should be the norm for politicians.The country and nation can expect a lot
Finally I can say politicians should be a conscious citizen guide of the nation take all and sincere corruption not to be perpetrated and public welfare. It is better to be engaged and not to do politics with lies then no one can say that politics is lies.

For example, if George Washington installed Churchill as a leader like them, the word lie can be compatible with politics.

You are absolutely right!

If US politicians were not corrupt, they would shut down the Federal Reserve Bank. Why? Because the Fed gets big money by scamming US people out of it, and gives it to their owners in Europe... especially the British Crown. And they have taught the rest of the world how to do it for a big piece of the banking action in other countries.

If it is about politics and lies are not told in it, then this is cannot happen. If you are from Pakistan, then you will understand this thing, the one who does good work for our country here is in jail, and the one who commits corruption they doesn't have any tension of anything.

Politicians are corrupt to the bone, and they have no choice but to say whatever they have been told to say.

The truth is politics shouldn't be like that. There can be differences amongst people with different ideas and that is where people disagree but the truth should always be said.
But in this world, politicians are not looking out for the interest of the people they serve, they're only looking out for their interest which is why they tell lies and push propaganda.

If a politician is looking out for the interest of his people, there will be no need for him to lie, he'll just tell the truth even if many would not agree with him.

Same here, politicians arrange with thugs to snatch ballot boxes so that they can use their printed ballot papers to replace the snatched ones.

Politicians make promises and they can are elected in offices,they don't keep to their promise. I don't know why most politicians are the same irrespective of the countries. Is it that there are no good people going into politics that are honest and truthful or when they enter the system,the politicians influences them with their untruthful life style. Corruption can make one do anything to get money especially when lies are the easy means.

Come To Think Of It, people into Politics (Politicians) are suppose to be the most Honest and Sincere peope on Earth but in todays case people into politics are different 😟.

Beacuse of the greed their have for money,they go to the media,and internet and start lying numerous lies.
Imagine some politicians in my country lying to us the citizen that a certain amount was swollen by a snake ☹️. People into politics, now take we the citizen as Fools.
Politicians of today now steals a lot of money from our nations without looking back or having conscience, they dont think about the citizens,all they think about is themselves and their family members wish is Selfishness and it is very bad.
People into Politics, will be given a huge amount by the President of a nation to carry out some duties,do the basic infrastructure things,or help those in need but they will end up eating the money and not carrying out the projects...
People into politics dont careabout the Citizens, hoe they are living,how they are feeding and all of that,instead they end up taking money from we the citizens through the payments of tax,and spend the money on themselves and their family forgetting about us

IS POLITICS REALLY SUPPOSE TO BE THIS WAY?

This  particular thing has been given me much concerns. there is no politician that doesn't lie. it seems as if that, lie is  part of politics. it has become a normal thing to this set of people called politicians. in my own country, were I come from there own lie is too much to there followers.

Now, let's think about the lies politicians have told for a long time. Where should we begin? There are so many lies, some are really bad, and others are just silly. The dangerous or careless nature of these lies should concern all who want what's best or should I say the ones who were deceived to vote for them.

You'll have power all the time."

We'll put a stop to corruption."

We'll only be in power for one term."

If we don't do well, you can throw stones at us."

We'll hold fair elections."

We'll take you to the moon and back."

It's frustrating that despite hearing these promises for as long as I can remember, I haven't seen any of them actually come true. It's disappointing when things don't turn out the way they're supposed to.

When we were kids, the most important rule at home was to never tell lies. We were taught to be honest, even if we thought we might get in trouble. Even tiny lies, like who took a bit of sugar from the jar, had serious punishments from our parents.

In politics, whether someone tells the truth or lies has become a way to judge them. This has been true for a long time, even now. People use it to decide if a politician is good or bad. Back in history, it was really good to have politicians who always told the truth and never lied. Two Presidents, Washington and Lincoln, were very respected by the American people because they always told the truth. Americans trusted them because they believed that if someone is truthful, you can trust them. But it's different now all they do is lie.

I think politicians often lie to us because many of them act like they're the most important and think they know everything once they're in power. This makes them careless with what they say and do, and they tell lies without thinking about the consequences. They do this because they know they have followers who believe everything they say, even if it's not true. These followers don't care about the truth because they're influenced by things like religion, tribal loyalty, race, and where they come from. It's like they're brainwashed and don't question what these leaders say.

So in other words, those forcing themselves on the people have ulterior motives right? I won't be surprised if your answer is a yes. It is actually logical because you don't expect someone to spend his time, money and even risk his life venturing into politics when there is nothing at stake. These business men in at the corridors of power are those who deploy every means possible to make it to power.

After Jesus fed the 5,000 from 5 small loaves of bread and 2 small fish, what did He do? John 6:15: "Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself."

People attempt to make somebody king when that person proves he is going to do good for them.

Husband and wife are similar. The wife wants her husband to be head of the family, and wear the pants (so to speak)... as long as he does what she says.

In the early days, good leaders were chosen by not really wanting to be a leader that's why they often became good leaders when they finally took the throne on the other side of the story, people who wanted to be elected as government leaders were often corrupt and already have hidden agenda once they took the power in their hands. Lying in politics is common because in order to win you need to throw countless promises that you don't even remember because most voters want to have new hope they are taken advantage of with that mindset. that's why most of those politicians are a bunch of liars and they seem not to bother about it and they want to get those votes in any way or shape to perform.

Let us be clear that the existence of politicians and their role in society is rather a necessary evil in order to keep democracy as we know it. The alternatives to democracy could be regarded as unacceptable to much of people.

It is not always the people who elect their politicians who are at fault, here in my country people who live in sub standard conditions are politically exploited and brain washed so they will do the parties bidding, campaign and even spread the message of a party which is mostly responsible for the failure of our economy and currency.

They never had a chance to study general culture and think critically and independently because the lack of education and support they never could get from their parents.

People generalize on something because of what the general outcome is and the feelings or aspirations of people are not met in the light of the social contract agreement for governance. Governance is an agreement to elect people into office and when they get into that office and not giving those benefits of being voted for to the large number of people then people can generalize because it is the aggregate opinion of people and not by random sampling. Agreed that some politicians try to be good but they are suppressed by the large number of corrupt ones because there are no institutions of uprightness. In democracy that works of course you see people attesting to the dividend of good governance.

In my country, vote buying and a corrupt electoral institution are the problems we face. Even when citizens decide to vote for their choice of candidates, the electoral body often assists politicians in manipulating the elections. This is possible because these officials are appointed by the politicians themselves, allowing them to act in favor of their own interests rather than the will of the people. Democracy often seems compromised in Africa due to such issues.

Politicians vary in their honesty & integrity. We can’t generalise and assume that all politicians lie, it's important to remember that individuals actions do not define an entire profession. Political pressures, electoral competition & the complexity of societal issues can sometimes create an environment where some politicians may feel compelled to stretch the truth or make promises they cannot fulfill. It’s a good idea to engage in critical thinking, fact checking &!to hold politicians accountable for their words & actions in order to promote transparency & honesty in politics.

Politicians are always on a mission, they main aims to achieve their goals by all means possible that is why laying is not something difficult for them to do because they can do anything to attain the position they want.

In my country, they not only liars, they also betrayers and they don't usually keep to their campaign promises after winning their elections, they will end up coming back to the poor mases if they want to go again or if they want another position forgetting that they did not do well during the previous office they served.
