How can we trust politicians?

Question

Or can we at all?

Answer 1

We really can't trust them at all. Not all of them are bad. I know that for a fact. But, the truth is, mos of them are sleez balls.

Answer 2

A politician isnt nessecary a person who appears on TV and is convicted of corruption, all people have a political opinion of some sort and therefore (on no matter how small a level) are politicians.
Most mainstream politicians of the main parties in most countries are at best questionable so we have to unfortunately grit our teeth and vote for a lesser evil.
Most Policitians are not worthy of trust but there are a few if you look hard.

Answer 3

A politician is a trained speaker. They are trained to sound convincing regardless of what issue or topic they are putting forth. It is very difficult to tell when the politician is telling you what they really believe as opposed to what they have been practiced to say.
I know this because I have been on speech and debate teams and have been trained as an attorney. We do the same thing in arguing a case as a politician does in promoting some cause. They may or may not be telling the truth or what they really believe.
Be skeptical always.

Answer 4

I am not sure we can trust anyone these days, much less so called civil servants. The underlining agendas of each person in a power position have corrupted a system that is in need of change. The police have there in hands in the local and state pockets to increase their position. The lawyers, judges, and other courthouse employees are on the take from the police and others a like. The politicians are simply the lambs that we persecuted for telling us what we trained them to tell us we wanted to hear from them. That they will improve schools, employment, decrease crime etc. It really falls on the shoulders of the commonwealth/ US to invoke change. My two cents.

Answer 5

Hello, asker

Sorry I cannot answer your ‚question’ concerning ‚politicians’ because you don’t say from which party or government or parliament or country they are.

In the internet forums numerous people ask and ask and ask questions about ‚politicians’ like yours.

So I guess you are a part of a group that has something against parlamentarian democracy, will say against democracy.

Many people today seem to have a poor opinion of democracy: Not only do people often disagree with political decisions, and the members of parliament are seen as unscrupulous, willing to do anything to gain power, or abusive of their position and privileges.

Do you try to influence us with this poison, too?

Kind regards,
Rolf

Answer 6

Don't. Never trust a politician. That doesn't mean they can't do the job you've elected them to, but always keep one eye on them. Too much trust will lead to complacency.

Answer 7

We cant they are all cheats and lie. They will tell you anything you want to hear to get you to trust them but look at the trash they are, the people they use (you and I)
When you vote your voting for the lesser of the two evils

Oh I'm sure I will be told to move to a commie country but think just how free we really are here

Answer 8

We can't. It's time to change the system.

Small government. Less regulations, less control, less power.
Then we'll be able to make the decisions for our own lives (and pay dearly for some of them... I mean be responsible for them) and the politicians will succeed only if they're fit for the administrative job of the republic (the res publica, the public thing).

Answer 9

Politicians are a heck more trustworthy than lawyers, judges, or police, that's for sure.

Answer 10

a FEW

not judge them just by what they say.

Judge on the actions.
and youll find only a handfulwho truly have proven themselves worthy of the title commander in chief.

Ill leave you to research who those are.
