John Locke - more about spiritual enlightenment
Karl Marx - more about working class struggle
Machiavelli - Using deception to gain one self empowerment. (A fast track to the top)
Locke's and Marx's writing would be revelant to African politics. Machiavelli is very anrchaic.

it would be nice to have new thoughts, rather than feeding off the old thoughts.
politicians are always hiding behind old laws, old structures, old ways of thinking. nothing radical or new to bring to the table. the world gets older and time travels on, yet we all stay politically stuck in the moment.
we need politicians who will be less talk and more action, progressive and forward thinking, and not frightened to make dramatic changes for the good.
we need to abolish the house of lords, we didnt vote in the old cronies to make decisions for us.

You can't answer that question properly on here!!!!!!!! It would take pages!!
Why don't you do your own research? If you're clever enough to do a degree (I assume that's what you're doing) then surely you can answer that with a bit of reading?
