Hmm.. 'Honest politician'...It's tempting to spout off about 'politics', Pat, but actually I have recently changed my opinions on the whole thing. I think we are ALL 'political' by nature! The majority who enter 'politics' in the professional sense, probably start off thinking they can do some 'good', but are more than likely rapidly swallowed up into a world they have little control over, in Reality. Once you're on the roller-coaster, it's not easy to jump off!
If it were not for dishonest
people, we would probably not need 'politics' at all. In this regard, it actually 'pays' to keep people
dishonest, so that a form of 'leadership' is then needed. ..It ain't rocket science!
- Which reminds me, even Einstein wrote publicly about his 'political beliefs'.
But if it's true
Honesty you seek, I'd say that is probably a toss between Hitler and Gandhi. (But G probably just has the edge!)
