discuss Do You Think Politics is a Dirty Game

[Yama]

One of the popular opinion about politics is it is a dirty game. I don't know who originally said this but recently I heard this from Vitali Klitschko, a Ukrainian politicians and a former boxer. He said, "Politics is a dirty game. We have our rules in boxing. In politics, no rules."
Do you think politics is a dirty game?

I can't think of any game that's more dirty than politics especially how it's carried out in the developing countries. It might be a little bit fair in the developed countries but it's hell in the 3rd World Countries.

I believe anyone that desires to participate in politics has to be ready to soil his hands. There is no clean hands in politics, if you want to rise to the top you must be ready to do whatever it takes.
It is what it is.

In my opinion, politics is not only a dirty game, but also cruel, a politician will also betray the party that has made their name great, from becoming mayor to governor and president.

As to the most corrupt president, I would say that I really could not decide who is worse. Many leaders have been accused of corrupt practices including the president of my country. The ones that actually come to my mind was Suharto from Indonesia, Marcos from Philippines and Yanukovych from Ukraine. They were accused of embezzing billions of dollars from their respective countries.

Do you think politics is a dirty game?

Yes, I do think so too. The reason is the majority of the politicians are self-serving individuals and many politicians are known to put their own interest to work and not that if the people. Of course, they lie, cheat, and use all the loopholes they find to achieve their evil intentions.

Do you actually believe politics is a system to serve common people? Don't you think politics serve only rich and affluent people at the expense of common people.

Seriously, a lot of them are the worst when it comes to being a human. They are so good in breaking their promises when they are campaigning for the masses to vote them in office.

Politics in my country is a very dirty game. I have been close to people that are into politics. They have to take secret oaths of allegiance and make very dirty deals. Some people that don't want to abide by the deals they entered into are mysteriously assassinated.

Politics can be messy and complicated, often involving power struggles and compromises. While some practices feel unethical, I believe politics also offers a chance for positive change when led by honest, dedicated people working for the common good.

I think Politics IS a dirty business.

Here are my reasons:-

1. Gone are those days of political ideologies and now we only have political opportunitism
2. Winning an election is a major financial and logistical challenge - you needs lots of money to win one.
3. The Go To Trick is divide and rule - so you have to spew some hatred to win. See - Donald Trump.

Just my take.
