This is how politics works?

Sayed Sajid Shah Bokhari

The world is practicing a very high model of Politics to serve the native on large scale. It is a matter of fact to understand a mechanism that how politics works? In the words of renewed scholar politics is a game which is played by politicians merely, to amuse others with pretty slogans. How the experts had drawn a map to explain the politics and its status in developing countries. I told my son you will marry the girl I choose. He said no. I told him, she is Bill Gates daughter.

He said ok. I call Bill Gates and said, I want your daughter to marry my son. Bill Gates said, no. I told Bill Gates, My son is the CEO of World Bank. Bill Gates said Ok. I called the president of World Bank and asked, him to make my son the CEO. He said, no. I told, him my son is Bill Gates son in law. He said, Ok. This is actually how politics works? Although amongst 195 countries in the world 77 do possess democratic type of governments as the world believes in involvement of people to elect their own representatives as they wish.

The leaders elected by the people then have had a system to decide the future of the country. We always follow Europe and the leading countries of Europe like France, Itlay, Japan, Germany and USA practices this sort of government. The countries lying in Latin America and mostly in Asia also possess this system. The world goes against the Monarchs and Kings because transparent and good governance could be ensured.

In such kind of government ballot paper conceal the developmental approaches towards humanity, Justice, transparency, accountability and best practices. Unfortunately, in developing countries the democratic institutions had corrupted the institutions by so called politicians and in many countries by Generals in combination with important stakeholders and pillars of the state. In developing countries forums had been established with ancestral dynasties in the past. Unfortunately the major role of these stakeholders is to plunder the national wealth (like NRO in Pakistan).

In country like Pakistan this game is in practice since its inception and the political leaders had secured prominent position in society by exploiting the system. Before each general election the parties and their leaders present a charming view to attract the people. There are many slogans and narrations to divert the people attention. Once the slogan was (Food, Cloth and Shelter).latter on the slogan was changed if we will not do it, who will do it. But in all forms the communities saw bad sort of experiences in achieving the targets.

Now a days, the theme of politics lies in the hands of Millionaire and Billionaire. The spending of money has increased distrust in communities because on the name of democracy, mostly the politicians exploit the people and can be a big source of corruption and nepotism always. The second abhorrent thing is setting dynasties through democracy. The dynasties set at the political horizons now claim the state as their sole property, where they can execute the process of bankruptcy. Still the people in Pakistan consider the game of politics as the most corrupt practice which develop worst situation always.

Once the politicians came in to power they forget their commitment and set their own norms and families establishment as outcome of the process. The Scenario about Politics is same everywhere in the world but the way, and attitude makes it different, in Europe and Asia particularly in Pakistan. In Europe politics gives vision to the politicians, strengthen political institutions, ensuring justice and transparency in their policies.

In Pakistan the democratic model is evolved from government to government based on personal interest settled by Mafia. You might have seen how the most powerful Chancellor of Germany Angla Merchall left her office who remained in power for 16 years. The history of Barak Obama and Michal Obama and her only daughter could be seen viral on internet in working place. Even the Ex-Iranian President Ahemed Najjad adopted a profession to teach at the university level. No one should mind but can anyone help me to show any stalwart politician in Pakistan who went to home without corrupt practices, embezzlement, harassment even through who have Article 62 and 63 in our constitution to be followed as a law.

Politics is one of the best professions to serve humanity no doubt. The most recent developed tool of Democracy proved to be one of the best tools excursive by rulers to involve people in the affairs of state. During the last century Monarchs and Kingship had negative implications on the society. Just imagine 9 Kings in Europe were close relative and they had a single objective to rule on the people by hook or by crooke. The emergence of parties, developing constitutions, rehearsal of Kings and Queens was a single agenda point.

The innovation in politics and setting Goals to achieve targets could be one of the most required outcomes to benefit the communities by politicians. In most countries of the world Politics is profitable Business, particularly in the under developing countries politicians can get name, fame, status and bank balance as end product.
