How difficult do you think it would be for politicians to maintain their integrity, vote their conscious, go against their party, go against the polls at any particular time or on any issue, not become prey to lobbyists and those who can contribute to them in multiple thousands in exchange for favorable votes?
Their may be about 10% of them but we need not wonder why they play the game and yes, us the voters, to their own advantage and NOT the masses that turn out to vote.
Honest opinions please.

Impossible. They can't conceive of honesty. Not a single one of them has shown me that they can be trusted on every subject to vote their conscience or to accurately represent their constituency.

The forefathers said that a well educated and moral electorate was necessary if liberty was to be preserved.
Most don't vote. Too many voters don't pay attention.
We hire and fire all politicians. We can only blame ourselves.
