I think that a lot of politicians are criminal as in they lie and prevent certain truths to get out there, but there are a few trustworthy ones that really are honest so let's not be prejudice against all politicians now shall we?

Hi, I think you are correct. In most countries they are the biggest criminals. It is from them all the crime starts from. But anyhow, what are you going to do, what am I going to do. Just nothing. Continue with the way we had lived. World is like that man. So enjoy your life in her.

they have power for few years and they wanna earn as much as they can in their rulling years.and after that they will live wealthy life. sometime i think dont they have something called selfrespect and dont they feel shame before doing things like that.but anyways its not gonna change and politics not gonna end.

Many of them are criminals. There are always exceptions though. Many politicians both give and receive bribes - depending on the laws of the country - this may or may not be a criminal act. Many of them use their positions to make themselves and their families very wealthy and once again - it depends on the laws of the country whether they are breaking the laws or not. Plus, in the US, many of our politicians actually have criminal records; but, they get elected to office anyway.

And, some bribes are not even money bribes - they can be bribes between politicians - "if you support my project, I will vote for your bill and I will get my friends to support it too". Whether you call this bribery or blackmail - it is still wrong.

ya im also with you politicians are great at taking bribe for doing some works.and with that bribe only they can earn lot of money.and there are lot of scams coming out in my country where politicians are involved in giving contract at high prices and bying materials from high priced company instead of low one.

absolutely and the thing is that every our police also cant do anything sometime as if they try to do something they dont get authority from the goverment as they dont want police to take any harsh action against any of their well wisher.

Some politics are criminals, but not all. Politics can be a crooked business for sure, but I think the few really bad politicians can give the good ones a bad name. Birds of a feather and all that, but there are really some decent and honest people in politics also.

It takes a lot of fortitude for good men to stand up for what's right when the majority of them won't. That's why the USA is having such a hard time getting our ecomomy back on track. The government will have to get its house in order first, and when our leaders start making the hard decisions to cut spending, a lot of the citizens don't want to give up their "share" of the government benefits for the good of the country. It has happened in several countries recently, citizens demonstrating and rioting when their governments starting making cuts.

but the thing is that the very few are good and most of them are currupt and thirsty for money and power.and if anyone try to do something good he been stoped by others.and because of few politicians whole politics has to suffer as people tell them criminal all lots more thing.

Hello, Many people do not have good impression on the politicians. Not all, but I know there are so many of them who are real life criminal.Now how do they reach there? It is the money and power. The interesting thing is that to be a politician you need to have bio data. The more ill doings are there the more chances are there to win an election. Just think, a person you know to be is living a mediocre life. Just have an average size house and nothing more.He is given a ticket for election Frey and he wins. Keep on the events in his life and life style. Not even three years have passed he is a owner of a house worth Rs. one crore. And you also knew that while he was in his job he would somehow keep the monthly budget meet both the ends. And now compare their salary with that of a professor or Civil servant. Where from the man got so much of money to build a palace even though he gets less amount of salary than you get. Who is he? A CRIMINAL POLITICIAN.
