This is also connected with the moral qualities of those people who build their careers in politics. And now, in my opinion, nobility and the highest degree of dignity and honor are completely absent from modern politicians. They simply cannot be compared even remotely with the politicians who governed countries 100-150 years ago. Now, in the upper echelons of power, there are some completely random, worthless people. And unfortunately, they are the ones who decide issues that affect the lives of millions of people. And they decide them not at all based on the interests of these very people. And their moral ugliness allows them to do good for narrow groups of the population, to which they themselves belong, and they do not care at all about the rest of the population. And this morality of theirs is crossed out by some concept of "common sense". However, this sense is not common, it is simply filthy.
Those modern politicians is busy to make them rich by doing many illegal things and don't care with their responsibility when they are in the government position. They also not responsibilities with their citizens and only release laws without working and make sure everything runs as their plan. They made a law that gives them a way to make more and more money but public doesn't know for sure so can still operate their business without anyone knows. They don't have morality about their position in the government. If they care with their citizens, they will working for their citizens and always reminds their citizens not to playing slot game excessively or stop playing gambling forever. They will trying to build employment for its people so they will have a chance to earn money and slowly can leaves gambling.
It is no longer a secret that politicians enrich themselves, they look selfish in my opinion, not in accordance with their promises when they will serve as people's representatives, moreover, many politicians are currently addicted to slot gambling, where they openly play during state meetings, so how can they forbid people to stop gambling if they themselves set a bad example
All this can be partly explained by the fact that people with certain human qualities go into politics. Usually not very honest and noble and often prone to various vices, for example, alcoholism or passion for gambling (this is a vice if you play during working hours). As a result, we all observe from some people in important positions in the state the behavior of a stupid school bully, who has long been annoying everyone, but it is impossible to kick him out of school because his dad is a banker. And the school principal will also fly off the job if he dares to do something against the bully.
The big question is how any society can put a filter so that completely stupid, immoral and meddling people who imagine themselves to be Julius Caesar do not get into the supreme power.
