The People's Dissapointment in Government as a Cause of Political Corruption

The election time gives us many sensitive and open politicians who try to become closer to people but after the selection they forget about their promises and people who voted for them. There are several widespread manipulative technologies used by politicians during the election like promises, coaxing, put-up job, and much more others to gain the trust of the people. Politicians resort to a variety of methods and manipulations to persuade people to vote for them, but after the election they do not perform half of that and even forget about their sincere promises given to people. Politicians are likely to make vowel promises and brilliant plans. Before the election, the candidate tells in bright colors about a secure future that only he can guarantee if 'you choose him'.

The politicians are those who promise, but do not fulfill their promises. The politicians first give the people what they need, then disappoint and betray them and so constantly. When getting the needed power the people go to the background and they start executing their own plans. Therefore, it is not worth believing that the candidate will do everything he promises on the eve of the election. The politicians are also characterized by the widespread technology of deceiving the electorate, which more often works in a society where there are unsecured population. They are more likely to be manipulated and can vote for loud promises and social assistance. After the voters give their votes for the candidate, the latter forgets them and even does not appear to them at the meetings that should be regular during the term of execution of politician's obligations. Very often, politicians resort to put-up job. This technology allows politicians during the speeches to shed bare facts, that is, to call 'accurate' indicators of falling living standards, economics, and salaries during the reign of the current government. The voter cannot check such data, because he does not know the situation and does not know what is right. In such a situation, a candidate can speak all that he 'remembered' during the speech, one can either slightly exaggerate or mitigate the facts in order to profit from his own position.

By definition, the pre-election program makes sense only before the election: it subsequently becomes a country's development strategy or, in the event of a defeat of politics, it is forgotten forever. This happened in the United States. In November 2012, Mitt Romney, a candidate from the Republican Party, was defeated in the presidential race. Therefore, it is not surprising that now on its website there is no election program - there's nothing at all except the main page. A holistic picture of the views of the former candidate was preserved only on friendly or thematic websites, and there is, in the majority of cases, a set of speeches and videos from his performances. Only the most important, economic part of the Romney program is documented as a single document. A lot of space takes the criticism of Barack Obama, with numerous figures and beautiful charts. The constructive part of the text is less informative, but it contains very clear promises - which law to adopt, which norm to cancel, etc. The problem is that not all goals of Romney are easily coordinated with each other - with the aim of reducing public debt, the candidate at the same time proposes to cancel or substantially reduce several key taxes. Romney’s brochure is caustic in relation to the current government and does not spare detailed explanations, which are confirmed by figures about the fact how Obama's policy is destroying the country.

However, when he comes up with suggestions on how to improve everything, the thesis becomes less convincing. Romney's proposals are decisive and even radical, but the candidate in very general phrases, without any calculations, expresses the consequences for the budget and economy. As a result, it is just a qualitative rhetoric. In Germany, there is no shortage of abstract concepts in the programs as well. Even the opposition parties offer not so many concrete, quick-to-implement reforms - just a minimum wage, a simplification of retirement, a slight increase in taxes for the rich. On many issues, the party sets long-term goals that require a full program of measures and will produce first results only in 2020, (the typical «deadline' for global promises). Finally, a number of topics are solved without any real promises - the authors only offer a philosophical vision of the future of the country, which it wants to make a corresponding party. It has long been known that the economic status of the country at the time of the election is crucial to their outcome. Thus, the stable recovery of the economy in 2012 has made Obama's victory easier, and the good economic situation in Germany has secured the victory of Angela Merkel.

However, in France in the spring of 2012, the situation was completely different. The country itself was plunged into a crisis, from which it could not get out. Unemployment reached the record levels. Obviously, the opponents of President Sarkozy had to take advantage by offering a program of immediate measures to improve the economy. However, the current authorities also had to look for the new ideas as the option to 'pursue the same policy as before' was pre-losing. As a result, precisely at the French elections, the election programs were the most decisive and concrete. Probably, the real democracy has died because the perfect technology has eaten it. For example, technology big data helped Trump to become president of the United States. This means that whoever the politician is, thanks to the clear manipulations from him one can duplicate the image and 'bend' people. Politics is a great game for politicians and the people in this game are only gaming figures that help them achieve their goals at any price through plans, strategies and skillful manipulations.

As a result, the winner is that person who most skillfully planned the course of the game, used favorable conditions, events and managed to make the most trusting image for voters. Unfortunately, the construction of air castles, reflections on common themes, banal populism is a necessary element of every program of politicians around the world. It is obvious that both the previous and the acting authorities are unable to organize properly the social life in the country. This inability is primarily due to personal interests, incompetence, excessive political engagement and large-scale corruptions in their activities. All the politicians are corrupt and do not care about the people, their problems, and issues and how they survive in this world. They try to prove being honest and that they will change everything for better but then the same story repeats again. There are corruptions in the activities of all politicians only the amount of money varies in different countries. Moreover, they will do anything to continue their activities with the help of the people who believe in their sincere promises from the TV screens.

The people are disappointed in politicians, because for many years they had huge expectations, after which the great disappointment came. We have a tendency to create for ourselves the false ideals and invest too much trust in the so-called political heroes, who dress in bright clothes to get the votes of voters, and then do nothing. However, it is important that people learn from their mistakes and disappointments, do not allow themselves to be deceive repeatedly, and should not to be so generous with populist politicians and other likely candidates for the role of national hero. People should not believe the words and promises of politicians, but demand from all of them concrete actions and results, after which they are judged according to what they have done and when politicians come to them with promises, do not listen to them and send them to work and show the actions.
