Blood is not part of power

[Lordhermes]

Politics ought to be a game of interest and not a bloody one. Because it's a call for service not for private user. But ever since corrupt leaders emerge as leaders,they force themselves on the people and if you fail to agree with them, they sacrifice you, for their selfish interest. That's the kind of world we're ttoday. Corruption has taken over the political system and the good ones in the society has left the politics for greedy and bloody tasted monsters.

Until the good ones take over the leadership in the country, don't expect less blood on the land.

^^^ But it's difficult to have good politics without knowing the underlying reasons for even having politics and government at all. Gotta think deeply to understand this.

Shedding blood and sacrifices to assume power shows that you're not a democratic personalities, if you're peoples choice then they should vote you willing, but I wonder what politics has become of this days killing thousands souls to ascertain seats and power is an abuse to redemption.

Sometimes I love Americans so much the practice through democracy and Republican government. Someone can not overpower a whole nation, America will never give you that chance unlike Adolf Hitler of Germany and Momoh Gaddafi of Libya, Africans are suffering old deadly leaders who kills for power.

A through democracy does not required blood but transparency of choice of people.

when you see people shedding blood 4 power is basically not physical power but for spiritual power, so I believe that these are the things are people normally do to get their own cell protected not for the power of physical combat or two fighting answer me understand

Killing people to make sacrifice for the sake of winning election does not start today. It started long before now so we are suppose to know the techniques many of our politicians take to make sure that they get the power. For me power does not worth fight for. We need to be contented with what we want from life.

Depending on how exposed the nation's citizens are to politics, the system of politics and politicians varies. However, in some nations, the citizens are very wise and intelligent enough to stop any act of power they show while trying to attain political power so that when they get there, they will remember how important the citizens are. This is because most of the community members lack proper education, which is why they allow the politicians to rule them with power.

killing people for election is not what election meant for election is for the democracy to select a good governance people that will who you bought some people misunderstood it because many people think about election you must kill before you become whatever they are supposed to be in a country so let us remove search mindset from our reasoning

Today's politics has become so dirty that people have to pour fresh blood from their chests. People don't like this dirty politics anymore. Now whatever the government is, if they can form the government, they themselves are everything. They do not consider people as people. They start politics by killing people during polling. All countries are now filled with such dirty politics that it is very difficult for the common man to survive. There is no talk of the opposition party. They are always thinking of challenging the opposition.

bloody politicians are the weaker ones in the game, they lack the ability and charisma's to convince the masses to vote for them, the only means to power is to intimate people ,kill and get into power by all means. these kind of politicians are the reason we have weapon proliferation in our society today. during election these evil men buy guns and other weapons to the jobless youths to get them into power. when they finally get into power, they lack access to get the weapons from these young guys.

power should be negotiate with the people, give them reason why they should vote for you, show them your scorecards to convince them. killing and intimidation are not party of real democracy and election.

[Belarge]

Op you are right, blood is not part of power, but our Politicians in this part of world are ready to do anything humanly possible to ascertain power, I don't see any reason why you have to stain your hands with blood if you know you are capable, if you have the potentials and charisma to win an eletoral position, let your good deeds and manifestos do the job and win the heart of the people, that's how it should be done,

In Nigeria once it's time for elections we would all know that for sure there would be bloodsheds, kidnapping, crisis etc, which is ought not to be so, and this has also made many persons to be scared during elections and they won't even come out on election day to exercise their franchise, it's so wrong of our political leaders...

Africans do find themselves in a sticky predicament during the election period. Some of the leaders would brashly assert that it is their right and time to rule, regardless of what the people of the country think. I occasionally find myself wondering what gives them the insight to go to such extremes to defend the authority of leadership. They do not care about the lives of their citizens during elections because of the money they steal into their pockets and the power structure they employ to control the nation's minerals and resources and every other governmental body. In nutshell, Africa still has a long way to go in the election process. Politicians need to redefine their aim of pursuing an office because their minds are not clear to rule the people

Political power has become something else in Africa. Every politician would do whatever if takes to acquire political power. Shedding blood have become a normal routine for African politician.
Sometimes i don't blame them, i blame it on the youths that they posses and use to kill others for their selffish interest. And they fly their own kids in another country.
African leaders are best known for killing to acquire power.

sad reality that most of the country experiencing right now. Politics turn into something bad when greedy politicians sits on the throne. Just like in our country, Lots of innocent people especially young kids being killed even police don't have proof that the person have done something wrong. Why they do that because its the order of the higher position. It made them powerful and you can see how people get scared of them. I still hope that on the next election, goodness may prevail to stop lots of wrong doing that happening in our government right now.

In some parts of the world, taking on a leadership role without spilling blood is even impossible. When it comes to using blood to gain power, the African continents have suffered the most. Even so-called citizens participate in this act in exchange for small sums of money and promises made to them.

No leader who has used the blood of the innocent to gain power or rule is ever allowed to retire and live a peaceful life after his leadership role expires. This should already serve as a lesson to those who harbor such thoughts. Humans, however, will never listen due to their greed for power and money.

[Wiwo]

Blood sheds an attribute of an automatic leader who forces his will on the citizens and the government will lack legitimacy and this form of rolling is evident in am Africa where the leader gets into power with the help of rigging elections and the use of thugs for political oppression.

-But in advanced democratic states it is not so.
