Endorsements by movie stars in choosing political candidates…………….

Well I know many are still awed and struck to many famous actors and actresses in our country. That is why I think many politicians resort to paying them to endorse them during elections. I am not swayed of course because an artist has endorsed them. But I still believe that many are still swayed to vote when there is an artist endorsing them.

Hi namiya! The main reason why politicians would get the help of famous movie stars is because they know that most voters can still be easily influenced by these people. That is why even movie stars are already entering into politics because they no that they have edge when it comes to popularity. Have a nice day!

Yes maybe but money still is the controlling factor that affects the decision of the voters...

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Yes u are absolutely right, the campaigning season has almost started and as usual we would see our politicians getting busy than previous in swaying people's mind so that they vote in their favor. this is such cheap politics of playing with the emotions of the people. What say?

I won't understand why a movie star has to get into the mix of any of this unless they are running them self it is one thing if they know the person but to place an add to say vote for this person i dont agree with with it let the person who is running do there own campaigns

yes elections are fast approaching,yeah there are many cap\mpains going ton,we cannot see polkiticians after they win or after the elctions.this is the time to see the policiticiana all over india.

As a voter my decision on who to vote does not depend on anyone but only on my own judgment. So even if the most popular celebrity endorses a candidate, I can't be convinced to vote for the person if I believe he does not even deserve my vote. But sadly, a lot of people allowed these kind of endorsements to dictate on them in choosing their candidates. This is the reason why the government has lots of incompetent people. They are voted by the people even if they are not deserving and incapable and worse..corrupt.

Getting famous movie stars might help in some cases but I don't think the people of today will just vote for them because of the artist that campaigned for them.The people now are much wiser and these politicians should do their very best in keeping their promises during the campaign althrough out the election time.An artist won't give us enough work and job or even quality education so why rely on them right?Lets just focus on every candidates platforms and ideas and maybe just maybe a change will happen. :)

I find it really stupid for these candidates to be using these celebrities to gain more votes in the election. When a particular candidate seeks the help of a celebrity, I do not think that the celebrities would just gladly say yes. There is always money involved. The higher the candidate can offer, the greater chance for the celebrity to endorse him. People now should be wiser in choosing their candidates. They should be aware of the whole personality and performance of the candidate and not by the number of celebrity endorsers that they have.

Don' care about the endorsers. I want a good platform - I have been asking for that and will be asking for any moment that I choose my right to vote. I don't care whether they are high in ratings because I want substance and I want them sweating in debates. celebrities are only for the income and candidates for the popularity that they will never earn in honest ways.

Same thing happens every year here in Mexico. This past nov. president election had a big one. Our winning Presidents wife is a very big soap opera star here. So many of her co- starts helped get her husband elected.

big probability, yes, since most of the numbered voters are merely below average voters that's why always gets in the way the popularity sake. Good candidates should play it safe for them to be voted and win the game since mostly corrupt ones often times win the game
