Politicians

Are politicians bad? I think it would be a little harsh to generalise to the extent that we say all politicians are bad but in this blog I will highlight a significant amount of high profile political leaders who have misused the trust placed in them.

Geoffrey Archer lied under oath and it was revealed that he gained his position of power and influence by false credentials. Several of the current labour party MP’s were involved in the recent cash for honours scandal, the Prime Minister himself was even questioned by police.
More worryingly we can also look at Saddam Hussein, recently executed for crimes against humanity including genocide and torturing political opponents.

There is also Slobodan Milosevic who died in jail after being found guilty of ordering the genocide of Serbs and Muslims.

There is President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe who is known to be stealing international aid for himself and his party, holding extreme anti-white policies which includes stealing any farms owned by white people using deadly violence and of course oppresses any views or opinions different to his own.

I’m not trying to say that all politicians are bad but by highlighting these recent scandals and atrocities it seems that when placed in a position of extreme power many politicians abuse it.
