is it right to treat politicians a V.I.P.? are these politicians not abusing the power given to them by the people who just voted for them? i guess these these politicians should not be treated and should not treat themselves as v.i.p.'s instead they should act as a public servant for it's the public who put them in the position and it's not the people who ask them to get into politics but they themselves ask for the people to vote for them. then after they have won the election they will hide to their office and forget what they have promise to the people. how can a politician know the problem of the people he should be serving if was just inside his office with fine furnitures, continues supply of electricity that he was not the one paying but the people, getting his salary without doing nothing. i think they should try to ride a simple car (not a limousine or a class car) so they would experience how the people they should be serving feels. let them be trapped in a traffic so they would know the experience of sweating and being trapped in a traffic. now? how are we going to treat this politicians that should be serving us? are we still going to treat them as v.i.p.?

Hello,Leo! The politicians are not VIPs,we are giving them the VIP status.They are all public servants,they are getting monthly pay and allowances and pension after retirement from politics.so their status is just like the status of government officials.but we are giving them undue privilege.In fact,in real terms they are not less than a criminal.you will find not a single honest politician in the world.soon after getting in to office they start accumulating money by utilising power of office which we have offered them.thanx.
