Can politics be beyond dirty  game? Can their be politics with no hate or envy of opposition
Politics can't be entirely pure, because it's like a competition, you have to do what will make you win, there is a big difference between politics and governance, politics can not be pure, but governance can be pure, our politicians just have to prioritise good governance over politics, that way our society will be better .

Though. There are competitions where people actually follow the rules and are less likely to cheat one another in order to win, but I agree it is very difficult for politicia to be pure; there are countries where politicians are more honest than in others, one cannot simply compare politics in countries like China or Japan to politics in Brazil or Venezuela.
The problem of politics are not other but the human nature to seek for power and money, hence why there is corruption. That is why some people argue it could be possible for politics to be pure if tools as Artificial Inteligence got implemented to do governance, instead of human politicians, though it sounds rather like a dystopian scenario I would not like to explore in the short term, to be honest.

Also, as a point of comparison. If some Churches can be dirty (because of pastors which commit blatant sins and even crimes like abusing of little children) what could we expect from some politicians who are not attached to a specific set of values whatsoever?.
