and so, functionally, politicians are meant to represent us in government, correct?
99% of all politicians represent only themselves or some clans that they belongs to. And they don't care anything exept money, power and our voices on elections. I think, direct democracy can solve this problem. But it will become possible only when all people become true citizen who really care about they state.
We really need politician because we want a leader to lead our country and male it united and reponsible always at all the time.
