What are politicians for except to promote their own self -interest and steal and waste our hard earned money?

Has any politician asked you whether he can take large amounts of your money? Has any politician ever given you back anything but your own money? Has any politician ever appologised for wasting the money which he has forcibly removed from you? Has any politician freely admitted that he has not kept promises which he made to get elected? Has any politician never accepted pecunary or moral bribes? Has any politician ever earned the vast amounts of our money which he regularly votes to pay himself? Most politicians see their election to office as a career leading to wealth and positions of power and will do and say anything to obtain election and re-election. The idea of responsibility to his constituents is only given lip service once a politician enters parliament, where his loyalty is to his Political Party rather than to the people who elected him. He will then waste time enacting useless legislation because his political masters tell him to. Most politicians are morally bancrupt.

4. Let's see.... Millions of us against hundreds of them. Let's remove their power and give it back to us all. F**k the powers that be, we have the power to run our own lives. i'm not thinking about dissposing them just firing em all.
5. Politotians are there for us to ridicule! Every political party gets the voters to vote them into goverment based on their wonderful new thinking policies. Only to continue the work of the last goverment, or just mess up the country in new and exciting ways.

7. yiu'r a smart
8. dear wondered, politicians are a mirror of the people they govern. so, if you feel that they steal large amounts of money, and you might be right, for the same thing is happening in my country, it means that so would the people do, if possible. but, at least in theory, the government should be a public organ that mediates the relations between two potential faces of the same body: the people. those two faces are: 1) the sovereign, understood as the equal and total union of all members of a society, the most power full force in the state;everyone must unite in the interest of the common good; the sovereign purpose is the well being of each and every one of it's members. 2) the state, understood as the amount individuals that obey the sovereign. the sovereign decides in the general matters; it takes decisions that concern every member of the society. but it can't decide in particular matters, due to the lack of interest. here's the role of the government. to decide in the particular matters, according to the stipulations of the sovereign. still, the politicians don't do their job. why? because no one gives a s%*t anymore. why? because the sovereign is very sensitive, and just a little deviation from the initial agreement (that everyone must unite in the interest of the common good) will broke the sovereign. for more details, i recommend Jean Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract.
9. I agree with you 100%, the majority of British politicians are corrupt
10. An interesting rhetorical question.
