What can make you stop politics as a person?

[Halifat]

Yes that is a great point cause if you have other means of survival you won't get bothered about their shit and dirty games, I have seen people who are already made before they join politics, they are opinion leaders, they are not a kinda push and start politicians, they can not be deprived of their right because the are heavy wealth themselves, the party need this type of politician more than they need the party, because they can deliver, one thing I have noticed in politics is that, before an ordinary persons is been given a political position that will favour him, such person will have God father that is interested in him and have tested his loyalty, that is the game of politics.

Politics is not for poor people and that is why they don't have position at the top, they are only recognized to be a fellow members so that there will be running an errand for their bosses. For you to become somebody in a political party, you met have contributed a lot but it have to be financially because if it is not that you will not be recognized even though you have sacrificed a very long time with them. I agreed with what you have said regarding a nobody getting a slot, that shows that the Godfathers are the one doing the things for him.

I don't like politics because of the dirty games that are involved, it absolutely look bad to me because it's just like a secret court, there are a lot of things that are happening which the poor masses do not know and that is why I run away from it.

Honestly the impact of money on politics cannot be denied, but one thing that should be made clear is that politics is not all about money. There are many common citizens who gain the trust of people because of their public speaking skills and honesty. The issue is that in many political parties, the weight of social connections and financial strength is given preference over qualifications. It is thus important to steer clear of politics and ensure that there are opportunities for good people to join in. Otherwise decisions might get handed over to fewer people.

Generally, I don't like politics. It's too dirty and most of there activities don't reflect general opinion. It's always those in there league or party. A political party can contest election, win the election and decide to only favor those who are in there faction, abandoning the other group. Sometimes too, they do a favourable atmosphere for there majority, while neglecting the minority to there fate.

I like been pure, simple and sincere. Anything that does not imbibe these personal principles of mine, I don't get involved. The lues and deceit in politics makes me stay away from it.

I only vote in an election because it is part of my civil right.

I agree with you politics are not free from corruption and nepotism. If we look around different political parties we often see that they are groups of people who involve in dishonesty, wrong ways of earnings, misuse of their powers, like to use resources for personal interest and much more. Mostly when educated and dedicated people try to join the party with the intention to bring positive change in the society, firstly they face backlash from their own old party members who don't want to  take any step because they feel fear losing their influence , Secondly other party members try to give threat to suppress their voices or damage their popularity.

As a result most of the youngsters prefer to avoid to join any party or otherwise powerful people force them to leave their position. Unless you have courage, strong connections or money you can continue it , otherwise mostly prefer to live peaceful life. In short live as a politician is not easy as it appears. sometimes you have to put your life in danger for your principles or doing some illegal act or compromise for your values

Politics isn’t just limited to the circular one we witness in our countries alone, even in our everyday life we all apply politics so I think it’s difficult for humans to stop politics because this is something they use in every day life. In terms of circular politics in our countries today, one can actually decide to stop playing it at some extent because of the nature in which it’s being played by the politicians who see politics as a do or die affairs simply because they want to get into political positions or power. Many politicians today in their bid to get into political office go extra miles in doing anything they could to get into power even if it involves taking human lives and at it’s at this stage I think to stop playing the circular politics.

[Nothingtodo]

Here I am presenting some of my views in the political context of my country, especially in my country, politics has now become a business. In the past, politics was done by the educated or the most famous people of the country, but now politics is done by the hated and identified terrorists of the society. Political ideology has completely changed and politics has now become an arena of corruption. If you want me to, you will not be able to survive by doing politics, but if you do politics correctly, you will have to face so much disaster that you yourself will be forced to abstain from politics. Only those who are not idealistic and corrupt can do politics, but if you are idealistic, then they will force you to be bad and you yourself will automatically have to sell your ideals to adapt to politics.

[Sarah Jordan]

Before  now I never associated with anything called politics. Until I was asked to follow up for campaign then. Politics isn't as easy as it looks. Fine if you work with right people you'll enjoy it. If you aren't strong on it you'll get exhausted. I don't like politics because of tricky things this politicians do. Like you said they do not favour the old times political players. But would put in someone that's new in politics. And it's annoying and painful

The life of a politician is not an easy one, politics is a game of interest and you don't go into politics without having nothing to do as a person, you must have a second address.

You can be in the party or following your master or leadership but when it is time to favor you, they can decide to call and make use of the next person, knowing fully well that you have been in the system for a long time.

The party leaders can always remember you when it is time to organize things, do all the hard work. You will be called upon to deliver all the messages but simply because maybe you don't have B'sc. They will now bring in their own personal person and fix in your place, not minding that they have used you for years with fake promises.

So with these few points, one can stop politics without even thinking twice.

I am quite confused by the description you give in politics, although I agree that politics is a game of interests.
Some people do politics to secure their business to avoid bureaucratic loopholes and protect and create additional opportunities from existing regulatory loopholes, if you are in a proper position you will have great opportunities, especially in a country that does not restrict politicians from becoming entrepreneurs or insider trading. lol

If your political interest is only to get a position and survive from political salaries and only want to spread your idealism, you are too naive, you will lose to people who have other goals, with greater capital in politics, politics is not to find food so Talk Live and die, politics is to maintain and expand influence.

[Jerrycrypto2024]

Politics are not easily quite by politicians intentionally but through failed plans, I will deduce by inference through examples I have seen some politicians always plan wrongly, by joining parties that can't win election, such can make politicians quite by force retirement because the moving train is always where the source of income lies, in politics you must be influencial financially mostly the part I came from to convince the crowd and have people who works for you you can strive in politics yourself only, moving from party to party may also killed your political career if the party is not also wining, it's essentially that a politician have it's graph well plot having the line straight without curved because any bend shift you away from target where your opponent take advantage of your political career, personally I have not seen a politician that quite without being forced by consistent failure of grabbing power if there exist need more information and also stand to be corrected in my opinion.

That is why some persons take it personal it things they are being promised didn't happen the way they are being told, politics is a bad game and having something doing aside from political movement is good but it can make a person to start going against his own principles because of the amount of money that comes around in politics and the so called godfather can even advise their boy to leave everything he's doing and completely follow him that this and that will come to him, like you said they'll promise him to fail him later, this act alone kills so many people who have trust on their godfather. That is another reason why you see some persons coming on live TV just to bring the next person down and they won't say this is their reason but it will look like they are fighting against a particular party, mehn, is best to run off politics early if nothing is coming for you and if you know they're just using you.

[Nicho-brown]

Those who are into politics should realise that someone can quit politics after realising that loyalty and commitment do not guarantee opportunities.

well, you have spoken well but for the fact that one was born in a pen, does not make him a goat. So do you advice that one should quit politics or switch to another party?

[BitBakerr1]

I really don’t like politics because of the political leaders that we have in my country. How can you be a politician and you are not interested in developing your country all you are interested about is to steal money.
This is the kind of politics they play in my country and that is why I am not interested to join politics.

Talking about the reason why some politicians or political leaders will abandoned someone that have been very close to them and have serve them for years to pick another person to run for a government office instead of you is because they don’t trust you, you may think a politician likes you because you are always doing the things he wants, but he is looking out for some particular characteristics that you may not have.

I am also not remotely related to politics but when we face difficulties as a common citizen we know that what politicians are doing for us their promises are not reaching the people.But when it is thought that politics is a power that has the ability to do everything such as making all kinds of decisions financial freedom, and implementing laws and policies I like this power.But when they increase the difficulties for the people and do not provide them with opportunities to improve their lives they curse the votes they cast.You are right.Politics does not seem so easy but they have the responsibility of the entire country. Politicians should dedicate the votes on the basis of which they gain this power for the welfare and prosperous life of the people.

[Cheema02]

In politics, the main character is the leader of a leader who is loyal to its people and actually has pain for his people so than he could make every effort for the growth and progress of his area. It's the main challenge in politics to select the right person for the job. If the person prefers their own people or gives priority to personal relatives, then we don't expect any positive changes in infrastructure in our areas. That's why we should have multiple sources of income and also have multiple skills. We should not rely on politicians for our future because we aren't sure about their minds, so good education with proper skills is compulsory for survival.

Let's see you support a political party and give your best years, but in the end, you don't receive any more positive response than what's you doing. So we should be able to survive in society with financial stability, and it comes with a proper source of income. To pick up this pattern, we need to get an education and proper skills.

[OgNasty]

I'm not exactly sure what "stop politics" means.  As far as having an opinion politically, I think we all struggle to keep that to ourselves.  The voting side of it, I always find it difficult to vote when you know that one side is cheating and your vote literally doesn't make a difference, if it even gets counted.  It looks like we're seeing early signs from my area that they've gotten a little bit of a handle on the cheating, but even with all their efforts to stop cheaters, the largest Republican poll stations still got shut down due to "electrical concerns" that seem too well timed to be coincidence.  They're telling Republican voters to go to poll stations in liberal areas where there will be no outages or lines.

You see those very hard and die-hard  politicians who stays in politics forever!! They are the set of people who have chosen to make peace with every negative barrier that comes their way. They have very strict principles, and they learn the act of swallowing every inch of betrayal without holding grudges and they are willing and always ready to laugh and serve who so ever replaces them. But if you are able to quit politics tthen it means the concience is still there.

[Tonimez]

but simply because maybe you don't have B'sc. They will now bring in their own personal person and fix in your place, not minding that they have used you for years with fake promises.

Here, yes here. Let this remind such person again that school is not a scam. When you are following a politician, you must also learn to prepare yourself at all time in order to secure every opportunity that comes out. There are people who just follow politicians and they only create the impression that they're fit for violence for the politicians. When you create such impression, they will only call you for violence when it arises. Such politicians won't use you for any important post because they know what you are.

Politics is a game and you must have a target for whatever you want and after setting your target, be sure that you're fit for the post or that you are qualified for the task by certificate. I advise anyone that doesn't have certificate to quit from politics except he is interested in only collecting peanuts but should not feel betrayed when he is not given any reasonable post or job after touting for the politicians.

Quit from politics if you don't have certificate!!!

So with these few points, one can stop politics without even thinking twice.

People don't necessarily have to go through the points you've shared before they start distrusting politics and its related activities. It has always been a dirty game, or should I say... It has always been about who can play it better_{(more dirtier)}. There are a pretty number of people that can never be outsmarted in the game of politics, so for someone who barely has all the necessary qualifications, staying loyal might not just be enough to keep you in the game for long.

But what I think is far important is that Citizens should always exercise their voting rights even if they have zero interest in politics. You can't hate politics and still refuse to participate in the decision making of a country through voting... That's not smart.
