What makes a good politician? In order to answer this question, one must first define the word politician.
A politician is defined as one who is actively involved in politics or one who holds or seeks a political office.
Consequently, the definition of a good politician must be someone who does a good job at these things.
For me, a good image is very important for a political candidate to get elected.
We usually make judgments about a person according to the way that he or she dresses, behaves, and expresses his or her opinions.
But to make a good image in politics, a person must work hard, listen to what people need and do that not just promoting own interests, be inclusive, accept good ideas whether they are right wing or left wing.
One that has the fortitude to tackle the hard situations with fervence and integrity, despite the whinging antics of any opposition when it is obvious it is in the best interests of the people they represent.
A politician with good image has the ability to compromise.
Because a politician deals with people with different opinions, the ability to develop cordial and compromising proposals is a huge advantage.
In other words, a politician serves the people using the best ideas and plans from all sources, regardless of political views.
He/She approaches for common ground in every situation.
Because the common good politics is the politics of empowerment; it is the politics that espouses cooperation not competition, the hand up and not just the hand out.
Idea of the common good offers a clear, optimistic and above all progressive vision for the future.
A good politician is one who actually supports the people they represent.
He/She lies when it will benefit the people.
A good politician will work to accomplish everything they promised they would, and has a very good explanation when they fail, and not a lie.
So still want to be a wakil rakyat anybody?
