Common sense in politics: a contradiction?

If you, like most other people, you are often surprised and even confused, because many politicians use this reasoning and method once they are elected to public office! Why, there seems to be so little common sense? Why is it called, if it seems to be common, then rare? In the same sentence, is this a contradiction, even using common sense and politics? With this in mind, this article will attempt to briefly consider, review and discuss five key factors, including some possibilities, and why this is the case.

1. from

Focus: from

 Why are so many public officials' priorities focused on their personal agenda and/or self-interest, rather than quality, related services, to those who are elected services and representatives? Not only the common sense of these individuals should be questioned, but also the mentality and attention of the voters. It often seems that when they run for office, politicians often make promises and use populist remarks without providing high-quality, viable solutions that are both relevant and sustainable. In 2016, Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. It shows that many voters voted, and did not raise enough questions if the words seem to benefit them, even their personal bias. In the most recent memory, we will never. I have witnessed this critical issue, which has been ignored or manipulated by politicians because of his personal political interests, not the relevant sustainable needs of our country.

as a result of: from

 Common sense should tell us that elected officials almost always have certain behaviors, whether taken or ignored. Because in the future, we often can't see the results, but, for example, when there are two undisciplined national leaders, such as the United States and North Korea, what problems may arise. Meet, what can go wrong? In some cases, such as neglecting the environment, protecting clean air and water, the impact on sustainability is clear and more likely to be terrible!

3. from

Solution - not rhetoric: from

 If voters use better common sense, they will ask for less empty rhetoric, commitment, and real, workable solutions that are relevant and sustainable! If we consistently vote for candidates, how can we benefit? Can the candidate just tell us what we want to hear, not what we need to do and solve?

4. from

sustainable development: from

 When the world needs sustainable ideas and solutions, accepting unsustainable commitments is irresponsible! When we start to ask politicians, we will all benefit!

5. from

Strategy and action plan: from

 Instead of focusing on their commitments and remarks, they seek, clarity, strategy and action plans, and focus on quality, related priorities!

If we want to show it in an effective way and in a related way, we must start common sense and become less common. Politicians will only change them in the ballot box if the voters demand it!
