Did you ever want to be a politician?

Given the situation of most of the countries, people blame their politicians. They feel the ministers are not doing their jobs properly. They are all dishonest. Given the circumstances, did you ever feel like becoming a politician? I never thought of that, as I don't want to be surrounded by such people. No offence to anyone..

Absolutely NOT! I know that you cannot be "honest" once you become a politicians. I knew people who tried and had to give up.

@Sheali You are funny. A friend I was talking to today by what I was saying said I should go into politics but I told him no. I do not like politics.

@Sheali I do not know what others feel towards politics but I feel this is not where I want to discuss politics. I have friends on facebook that we feel can discuss politics because we feel the same way as I do so we have that in common. As a matter of fact we have elections tomorrow and I got a recording from someone that I am voting for. I listened to the whole thing.

Never! My father was two term a board member of the province. That means 8 years since a term is equivalent to 4 years. While that. i saw how lots of people would come to him to ask for monetary help. Much as he likes to help all of them, he cannot at all times because he only have enough for us. That is why, i never want to be a politician. i just want a simple and peaceful life.

I once had high hopes that my son would become a politician, but his interests took him elsewhere. I'm so glad. I certainly wouldn't want to be one, but always thought my husband would be a good politician - honest and fair. However, I'm also glad he chose another career path.

Perhaps I would have wanted this , majority of the young crowd are not inspired / motivated by an idea of politics. Though aiming to be in politics will seem hypothetical for any youngster as they may have to go through a long journey unless achieving any influential rank.

@Sheali Yes it should be that genuine reason but at the same time it should be realized that youth are in mass while criticizing any government policies and bureaucracy , hence if they are spectators then why should they remain off from joining politics.
