I quote this from Switchfoot regarding their statement about their song Politicians, a timely quote for the upcoming elections on May in the Philippines."...I believe in democracy because I mistrust all humanity equally, (including myself). Power corrupts us all and we become political, (in the worst connotation of the word). We become simply pawns of our own insatiable hunger for control. Maybe control is a myth, like Santa Claus or the easter bunny: a nice fable that makes the children want to be good all year round. Well, seems to me there's a monster in all of us. I pledge allegiance to a nation without borders, without pride, without politicians like ourselves

This statment is a philosphical one and they look and sound nice but in real world they just aren't more than a guiding light.
