Characteristics of a good politician

Here in the Philippines election is fast approaching, the candidates for the national elections has already started their campaigns to gain more votes when May 2010 comes.

Politicians are promising heaven and earth, having wonderful-to-hear promises and flowery words to attract voter. But what are the characteristics of a Politician that should be looked into by every voter, so that a country on the verge of falling apart may have its ground and be able to stand again as one like before when it was progressively rich.

Maybe the following ideas may help in telling the signs of a good politician by looking at their qualities in their unguarded moments rather than during campaign periods.

They are:

1. God loving and fearing,

2. Love for his own country,

3. Love for his fellow countrymen,

4. Loves to serve his fellow countrymen within the bounds of the law,

5. Has a high regard for morality,

6. Has excellent leadership skills,

7. Well educated,

8. Has charisma,

9. The ability to wield a nation by his Political will,

10. Down to earth albeit his position is in the cloud,

11. Has no tendencies to corrupt even a single cent,

12. Implements and upholds the laws of the land always.

These are, in my own opinion, thinking, view and belief, the characteristics of a person and a politician that should be voted this coming election.

All are invited to share their ideas or comments concerning the qualities of a Politician that the Philippines must have it does not matter if you are abroad or in the Philippines.

Caveat: Do not post any comments or suggestions that are against the policies of the website or any matters that go against decency and morality.
