There is this concept of politics as a dirty game.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is this concept of politics as a dirty game. It's a difficult game, but it doesn't have to be dirty. I think this is what we need to bring to politics. I think politics around the world has very often been captured by big interests - 'lobbies' they call them in the States.
There is a circus around politics. But if you think it is a game, then you forget what the purpose of politics actually is.
Politics are a very unsatisfactory game.
We must remember that politics is more than a power game. The core of politics in my view is to serve our citizens, to serve our fellow human beings.
Politics organizes our lives. We can't disregard it. Politics has lot of muck, lot of dirt. But that doesn't mean you have to be away from it. It's ubiquitous.
Politics is activity in relation to power.
Politics is the science of who gets what, when, and why.
I've always tried to avoid politics because most politicians that I know are quite dirty in terms of human dignity, ethics and morals.
Politics is not a game. It is an earnest business.
Politics is dirty, and I don't like to talk about dirty things... My conscience is clear.
