why do we need politicians?

[tartecyst7d]

There is not really a need of politicians as people can manage without them easily.

so i've been thinking about this a lot recently, and i would like to know if anyone can come up with a reason why politicians are still necessary for good government. i've come to realize that their whole relevance comes from a time itself irrelevant to the modern world. in developed countries, the vast majority of people plugged into cell phones and internet, why do we have to be under a system thats from a time when most people were not even literate? most modern governments of wealthy developed countries were formed prior to the development of modern technology, and it had become the norm in the establishment of these countries to develop a system of political representation for citizens in the form of politicians as democratic systems emerged.

and so, functionally, politicians are meant to represent us in government, correct?

internet and cell phones let basically all people communicate instantaneously all the time, and the average amount of education a person receives today is probably not so different than the average politician received a century ago.. and even right here right now i am representing my own ideas thanks to this technology and education..
like the factory worker whose function, supplanted by technology, is quickly being made obselete by robots, so are politicians can we not use things like ssl and https to build something to replace make politicians obsolete? i dont think many will argue that they perform well in their function, and could not use an upgrade. we can replace government buildings in capitals with a secure domain for everyone to have a hand in governing, or at least the opportunity if they care enough to want it. the USA is considered a democratic republic because we have a system where a few vote for the rest, and yet its government loves to place the democratic ideal above all else. what would more democratic than having more people voting more?

we all already have a digital representaton of ourselves that exists simply in our bitcointalk forum user accounts. why not extend the arena to government as well?

what is the need for politicians?
in the USA, career politicians spend their entire lives advancing through ranks in government (and probably have better job security than you do). their only job is to keep their corporate sponsors happy so they that can continue to look good when they need to be re-elected. they might as well dress like nascar drivers with the jumpsuits with all the logos and brands on them... and its not like people are not already aware of this even. the existing political ecosystem in which political correctness is the rubric by which politicians are elected and fired, but it has very little to do with their actual function as our government.
government for and by the self-same people would take care of this need, i think.

this idea just continues to seem increasing obvious to me, but it just seems we are constantly evolving to something increasing further from this and it all just seems so counterproductive. can progress happen, or are we just entrenched into the current state of bullshit?
politicians have been ruining too many things i care about lately.. its all hidden agendas and doublespeak. its becoming increasingly necessary to be oddly reminded that its not actually their job to progressively make things worse
i cant remember the last time my government (in the USA we all hail an orange mammal whose specialty is split between being an agressive twit on twatter and an emotionally-stunted 12 year old) acted with integrity, possibly because it was before i was born.

Well we still need them. Without them, without leader to lead a country can cause chaos and uncontrolled crowd.

[neliawesome]

We need politicians because we need a leader to lead our nation.Without politician we had no rules and regulations, without rules and regulations we will surely have messy nation.

[minhchien9abandat]

as Why do you need eat and drink

[Eijrafarm]

We do really need politician as our leader. Without a person incharge to manage people then it could be a worst society I guess.

[CryptotechWorld]

well, people need someone to rely on, someone to believ or if it  is neccesarry , someone to pis off when everything is going mad. actually, it is a very simple answer, to my mind

[subduedworsted]

To arouse conflicts, mass killings and Strikes for free ;p

Politicians are the people whom we voted to make changes in our country. We voted them because we believed in their promises to bring goodness in our society. Once they are seated in their positions, their jobs are to make laws and regulations, make projects for their constituents, and provide peace and order in their community. They are supposed to be good people because they help, but there are politicians who are just thinking for their own good and wealth, so some of them are just making money for themselves, they become corrupt.

[Samk]

politicians is needed as they control the whole country as we know they are corrupted but then also they are essential for the normal functionality and monitiring of the country.

[SingAlong]

Maybe Yes, we need politicians who will lead and maintain peace and order in our country. But we don't need just a Politician but a politician who will truly serve people and our country, who have faith in god , Patriotic and a politician who will help the people in needs.

[hidingyou]

and so, functionally, politicians are meant to represent us in government, correct?

99% of all politicians  represent only themselves or some clans that they belongs to. And they don't care anything exept money, power and our voices on elections. I think, direct democracy can solve this problem. But it will become possible only when all people become true citizen who really care about they state.

We really need politician because we want a leader to lead our country and male it united and reponsible always at all the time.

[brokeroutrigger5]

There is not really no need of the politicians as they only ruin the country.

[diagnosticpillar]

No I don’t think we need politicians. We can any day be better off without them.

[inactivechorley5]

We need politicians so that atleast the rich people can make out their illegal works by giving just a bribe to the politicians -_-

[uwr]

No politicians are neeeded at all. The world should be ruled by protocol like any cryptocurency.
And thouthands years ago such protocols have apeared as inovations like religions judaism, christianity, islam and then political ideologies like democracy and socialism.
BUT every time those protocols get corrupted due to human's greed and hunger 
Nowdays we have blockchain technologies which could give us such aplications as decentralized voting tools,
so we can once and for all change our existing political structure.
Support UNIFY World Revolution.

[Oladejielisha]

I will need politicians but a good and God fearing people who will not take bribe or give bribe.

[Olaniyiola]

We need politicians to serve as our leader and to manage the affairs of the country.

To apply our insulting powers on them 😁

[demibear]

We need politicians to serve as our leader and to manage the affairs of the country.

What was said there. People in a group will also delegate some power to a leader. Some out of laziness. Some out of the desire to not be the one accountable. Just how we animals are.

There needs to be a TLDR version of this eventually. haha

[daniel08]

We need politicians in our country to makes laws for us to follow. Those kind of laws to help people not the kind of laws to destroy people. Politicians are people who helps the countries and make the countries to survive economically. Good politicians nowadays are rare , many are corrupts politicians , they have been running into politics to have money , to steal money from the people taxes. Politicians who are good are the helping ones , they are god fearing and all they want is the good for all the people that they lead.
