Educational qualification for politicians

except 2,3 & 5 all the other points is essential for a politician these are enough good family background isnt essential, we cant say that people from good background is good and will do good, consider the Nehru family for an example similarly, honesty wont make u a good politician,especially to avoid others baits finally, a good politician doesnt claim support from people unless its much important for the society; most politicians exaggerate even a little help by them through media i hope u get it

My list would include 1. Living on minimum wage and working hard manually for 5 years 2. A thorough grounding in western philosophy and Christianity 3. Run a small business or care for some person unable to look after themselves or be homeless for year all the best urban

I have raised this point in my discussion particular to my country regarding the type of politicians that currently ruled my country. I try not be elitist (my country has a very general qualifications for an aspiring politician) but I felt that they are a few lacking qualities in political roster. I agree on the notion that being an educated person isn't exactly qualify for a public office. But there is a need for a certain level of education in order to understand the law, create a rapport among fellow politicians and participate in the makings and the intricate of the law-making process. Not everything is based on charisma, popularity and personality. Your definition of basic education is a little bit gray here. My response to your other desired qualifications is that they might belong to a perfect person or politician if such person existed. It will be hard to find an exact specimen and in my opinion, I would feel sorry for that person to be coerced into a dirty world such as politics. Politicians are also human, they aren't perfect as much as we wanted them to be. But they have the obligation to serve the public and not their personal interests, dreams or their families. We could only hope that we, as a people and our interest, remains the top priority in their minds. If not, give them the kick in the you-know-where part.

hello. No.1,5 -- can be measured or ascertained. Other points 2,3,4,6 and 7 -- the4y are not measurable. More educated persons also are corrupt. Many big cyberspace frauds are committed by educated boys and girls only. Family back ground - is not going to help us decide a person's ability or usefulness. a man coming from not so good family back ground performs better in politics or work. Honesty - Many fraudsters are people who were honest because opportunities were not there earlier. Greed for money, fame -once these creep into an individual he does what he is not supposed to. Value system taught when the person was in childhood matters a lot. The company of people with whom he is moving makes it a lot. Let us see what others tell about this.
