Topic: why do we need politicians? - page 4. (Read 900 times)
Well democracy have been proven to be the most acceptable form of government hence the need of politicians because without politicians no one to represent our interest in government when direct democracy is not possible anymore because of population explosion unlike during the time of Greek democracy I. e direct democracy when people gather in village square
There is not really a need of politicians as people can manage without them easily.
It is very important to have some politicians who can be a leader and lead the country.
We need a good politician to lead people and implement law.A country without a good polotician is a messy country and people can do whatever they want,they can do bad things to others because they are not goong to jail.
But what is the point in having politicians who are low qualified and prone to taking bribes? I am from India, and I would say that more than 50% of the politicians here are corrupt. A few years back, there was a mass movement against corruption, but that also died down gradually.
We need politician to lead us,to impliment rules and regulation for the society and see to it that everyone or all the people will obey the law,rules and regulation to have a peaceful place to live.
Ideally politicians should be very clever, very well read, very experienced and measured individuals who are therefore best placed to determine the way societies' rules and norms are governed. This gives the best opportunity for the highest possible percentage of the population to thrive and enjoy life to the full.

A world without a leader can be so chaotic. People cannot agree on things easily and results in a civil or a world war to solve disagreements and came up with a resolution or decision. We all wanted peace. That's why we need leaders and they are our politicians.
We need a good and god fearing politician in order to make a law to be implemented to the other branches of government and to enforce said law equally for the benefit of the community.
If the politicians are not there, then who will run the government? You can try with those with business degrees, but how they are going to manage foreign affairs and internal politics? In the government, there should be someone who knows the politics of that country. Else the administration will collapse in a matter of few weeks.
Because we need leaders to lead us to the right path and to make laws that will make a country grow and productive.
One unusual but not unthinkable idea, for instance, is for government to directly support mutual action and key campaigns.Negotiate a better deal on domestic energy consumption. Government support for such initiatives would be transformational. Because we need leaders to lead us to the right path and to make laws that will make a country grow and productive.

We need politicians because they are leaders, and without leaders the world could be chaotic and not in order. We need people that will tell us or will serve us a judge on whether our country is still doing good or not. The only problem is some leaders are not that effective and has the tendency to do bad.
Politicians are just a reflex of the country's population. If you are unsatisfied with your politics, you are unsatisfied with your countrymen.
Anyway we need good politicians representing our country and doing the best for the citizens. It will depend from person to person, but I believe the best they could do is to give more freedom to the citizens of the country, since it doesn't affect negatively other people and the the whole society in general.
Without politicians there wouldn't be order, and it would just open a gap for some crazy tyrants take the power and rule the land.

so i've been thinking about this a lot recently, and i would like to know if anyone can come up with a reason why politicians are still necessary for good government. i've come to realize that their whole relevance comes from a time itself irrelevant to the modern world. in developed countries, the vast majority of people plugged into cell phones and internet, why do we have to be under a system thats from a time when most people were not even literate? most modern governments of wealthy developed countries were formed prior to the development of modern technology, and it had become the norm in the establishment of these countries to develop a system of political representation for citizens in the form of politicians as democratic systems emerged.
and so, functionally, politicians are meant to represent us in government, correct?
internet and cell phones let basically all people communicate instantaneously all the time, and the average amount of education a person receives today is probably not so different than the average politician received a century ago.. and even right here right now i am representing my own ideas thanks to this technology and education..
like the factory worker whose function, supplanted by technology, is quickly being made obselete by robots, so are politicians can we not use things like ssl and https to build something to replace make politicians obsolete? i dont think many will argue that they perform well in their function, and could not use an upgrade. we can replace government buildings in capitals with a secure domain for everyone to have a hand in governing, or at least the opportunity if they care enough to want it. the USA is considered a democratic republic because we have a system where a few vote for the rest, and yet its government loves to place the democratic ideal above all else. what would more democratic than having more people voting more?
we all already have a digital representaton of ourselves that exists simply in our bitcointalk forum user accounts. why not extend the arena to government as well?
what is the need for politicians?
in the USA, career politicians spend their entire lives advancing through ranks in government (and probably have better job security than you do). their only job is to keep their corporate sponsors happy so they that can continue to look good when they need to be re-elected. they might as well dress like nascar drivers with the jumpsuits with all the logos and brands on them... and its not like people are not already aware of this even. the existing political ecosystem in which political correctness is the rubric by which politicians are elected and fired, but it has very little to do with their actual function as our government.
government for and by the self-same people would take care of this need, i think.
this idea just continues to seem increasing obvious to me, but it just seems we are constantly evolving to something increasing further from this and it all just seems so counterproductive. can progress happen, or are we just entrenched into the current state of bullshit?
politicians have been ruining too many things i care about lately.. its all hidden agendas and doublespeak. its becoming increasingly necessary to be oddly reminded that its not actually their job to progressively make things worse
i cant remember the last time my government (in the USA we all hail an orange mammal whose specialty is split between being an agressive twit on twatter and an emotionally-stunted 12 year old) acted with integrity, possibly because it was before i was born.

Basically we need politicians to bring out the best in a country but not it's just full of drama and controversy. Politicians nowadays fight against themselves, instead of focusing on their each others task.
Because we need leaders to lead us to the right path and to make laws that will make a country grow and productive.
Пoлитики нyжны для вeдeния пepeгoвopoв. Oни дoлжны быть кoмпeтeнтными в вoпpocax кoтopыми oни зaнимaютcя.
Politicians are required to lead the members of society.
Legally speaking, Yes. But in humanitarian nature, We don't.
They are representatives selected by us in the government or opposition.
This only works in Democratic Government by which Citizens has the right to choose their leaders.
There should be some interface between democracy and people. So they fill the gap. WE need men and women who will work out of a good heart intending to make a good impact in our society one that really make sense and make us inspire to follow their written laws and policies
Actually, We don't really need these politicians. If you heard the song Imagine by John Lennon, We don't need leaders if we can work as one and if we only tend to be united and at peace. No race, no countries, no religions, and etc.
and make us better citizen.
We don't need laws to be a better citizen, We could be better if we choose to be better. We can be successful if we choose to be successful. What I'm saying is that We all have the rights to choose for ourselves and no one should be an influence for that change.
Why do we need politicians?
Well, somebody has to show people how not to be.
Well, somebody has to show people how not to be.
well not all can contribute to the running of the governments, and not everyone is bold and charismatic enough to present the peoples ideas and needs for actions. we need a go between for that. there is also international relations, some diplomatic dealings cant be done through phones and emails, we still need these guys
