why do we need politicians?

[dash007]

The answer is quite simple, for the same very reasons we need cars despite their carbon monoxide emission.No matter how bad politicians are first of all, we voted for them, meaning they are a representation of our choices. They are there to serve our interests and if they happen not to be doing that,we need to evaluate ourselves and raise the bar higher for them. I know of a place where the current governor was the first in about thirty years to win a re-election. This is simply because if you mess up as a political representative, you won't get a second chance so they know they have to serve better.
We need them because if we govern ourselves, everything will eventually crumble TBH.
