I think politicians nationwide have earned a reputation sometimes that is very unfavorable because they will say things and then do something else when they get into office.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think there is a break down of trust generally, between people and politicians. I think that's come about for a whole variety of reasons.
Politicians around the world are very different, but they all have one thing in common: The first thing they respond to is public opinion.
Of course great politicians are always liable to be wrong about something, and the more people tell them they are wrong, the more stubbornly they defend their error.
Politicians are very experienced - maybe too experienced - at using body language to signal power and competence. But what these politicians are much more likely to struggle with, or just neglect to do altogether, is communicate warmth and trustworthiness.
Politicians are no different than the rest of the public.
I think politicians do great things in the world, but I don't think they're the only ones who can. I don't like all the rhetoric and the finger pointing.
Our politicians don't say anything anymore: they just refute and assert.
You can't trust politicians. It doesn't matter who makes a political speech. It's all lies - and it applies to any rock star who wants to make a political speech as well.
Politicians are wonderful people as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, such as working for a living.
Politicians are probably the most underrated people in our society.
