politicians thrive on breakdowns.• Statesmen generate cooperation, confidence
and creativity. politicians generate confusion,
conflicts and controversies.

I wonder, why don’t people aspire to join politics? At the same time
I also wonder as to why do people at large abhor the career of apolitician. I can understand that such feelings can emanate from
those enterprising people who want to make a difference in life in
their own way, but what I don’t understand is why do the lazy and
disillusioned ones also nurture similar feelings. What more would
anyone want than access to some unwarranted luxuries and perksof life absolutely free of cost! On top of that, there aren’t any
defined job profiles or descriptions, no constraint of age,
education, no accountability, no discipline, no reporting and voila!
– you get paid for all this, and get a raise too!!
Thus, works done by MPs are neither normatively defined nor is
objectively measurable and yet they get paid handsomely and get a
raise too, which is comparable and equivalent to bureaucrats, and
yet no one opts for politics as a career.

Now the question is that if all this is true then why in the first place an MP should get
paid? Call it utopia — But joining politics was meant to be fundamentally a public
spirited voluntary decision and less of a conventional mode of not working and yet
earning a living. Since the beginning of human civilization, people who wanted to
serve the society and transform them, opted for such career without an aim of
upgrading their own economic stature. But then, what we observe is just the
converse! Today, the biggest entry barrier to politics is the amount of investment that
one has to make. And this is a glaring reality of our political system today. Till the
time this remains an utopian dream, at least they should not be paid!

Politics is about ideas. It's not a
profession where one gets paid for
sitting in an office whole day…
Do you really think that politician should paid
salary on attending parliament session, but weknow very well what they do at parliament.
Except some senior member most of them make
quarrel among each other for political benefit’s 11
Going by this again, I wonder why should
politician paid a huge amount of money
that they get in the name of salary.

Technology is mankind’s best friend whereas politics is it’s biggest enemy and politics
corrupts technology as well. It turns atomic
energy into an atom bomb kills millions of
people such as Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
