I imagine that will happen to my country, probably there will be no one to run for a public office. Most politicians run because of personal interest and political power they will hold.They even threaten or worst kill their opponent just to make sure they will win for elections. Politics is a very tricky and dirty business.
So why politicians and government at all? Why should someone led by personal interest rule? Isn't this simple violence?
That is the downside of a democracy, anyone can run for a public office as long as they are natural-born citizen, a registered voter, able to read and write and a resident of that country. It could lead to corruption for it is based on electoral competition. Furthermore, there is also a vote buying phenomenon, where the voter sells his or her vote to the highest bidder. Ordinary people are unaware of what is good for them, whoever can give them enough tangible rewards will be their candidate without even knowing the true intentions. Political violence.
Of course that I know that this is part of democracy. The meaning of my post was - why democracy at all? What will it brings to us except this violenent rule of people who cares just about themselves?
