"We all know what to do, said the former head of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker; it’s just that we don’t know how to get elected afterward."**
And therein is the problem: politics was intended to be PUBLIC SERVICE. You weren't expected to be re-elected. Running for re-election perverts the process; it diverts you from doing the public service you were elected to do. Do what's right and if you're not re-elected, so be it. Go back to life.
Politicians lie. Voters have to elect representatives based on what they say and on their history. Politicians almost always give you the rosy picture in order to make themselves "more electable". I still put it back on politicians. They should have one decent-length term and never run for re-election.
