A perfect society exists nowhere on earth, and it is no wonder that both politics and politicians continue to flourish, despite all their flaws and foibles. While it is true that politicians manage to prosper, and many of them have become prosperous almost overnight through their tact, manoeuvres, deceit, and flattery of those in power and exploitation of those who are weak and helpless, it is also true that they have lost credibility. During the elections, a common comment by the average voter in the rural areas was that these politicians make tall, high-sounding promises but never fulfil them. They come to the people only at election time, and during the intervening period they are too busy feathering their own nests to bother about the plight of the people. As for corruption and betrayal of public and even national interests by politicians, there seems to be no end. As for political morality and the standards of conduct among politicians, the less said the better. The loud professions and promises of politicians of all ranks are a mockery of the system they represent.
