    A politian is an elected representative. Their appointment depends on those who put their trust on them.

    How politians managed to create a compulsory respect towards them evades me. The position they occupy is not theirs and, for what it counts, makes them the voters and state (as in, every citizen) servants.

      a politician SHOULD be an elected representative. or so we’re told.

      but all the systems we have are more about tricking people into thinking they had their say and just got overuled, and obfuscating the influence of the oligarchs with parliamentary procedure decorum bullshit than they are about making people represented.
