THE POLITICAL GENIUS

         To some people the saying "politics is a dirty game" seems true but others might not agree.One thing however is true that in politics antics are required to govern people.Banks and coporations determine the pace of an economy and they could be viewed as a kind of government.But someone needs to lead a nation.It could be a woman these days where equity is becoming a norm.
        So what makes a political genius.Is it someone that simply believes in some set of ideas or would he or she be characterized by charismatic and pragmatic traits?.The truth is that politics is a wheel that drives the planet.There is no where politics is not played.If a child wants candy he would cry till his mother gives it.A teenager who wants to attend a party completes all his chores and a husband who wants his wife's attention buys her a gift.Its all about antics.
         Political parties allow their candidates to contest in an election and the people decide at the poll.However if this candidates do not have some type of appeal their ratings will not grow.Political antics can be negative or positive.A political genius knows this and chooses the positive antics.In Africa leadership is a huge problem that politics is such a dirty game.Elections are rigged and people do not truly understand their rights.Regardless of who will be elected people should never give up their right to vote.
          A political genius understands the act of service and has the people at heart.He or she is selfless and willing to die for a good course.People like Martin Luther King Jr.Its not just about creating jobs,it's changing the face of politics and being remembered in history as exceptional.Setting a pace is never easy so it requires being unique and courageous on the part of the leader.
           The economy,healthcare,security and education of a nation speaks for a political genius.He/She fights and acts based on the people's needs.But these days it's sad that genius in politics points to popularity or dictatorship.From Bashir Assad of Syria who fights his own people to Mugabe of Zimbabwe who was forced to step down after many years and Putin of Russia who longs for absolute power in his nation and the world.Its a series of negativity.
             The people must tell and show politicians that politics ain't a dirty game but a ground for intellect,service and genius.Till we start running institutes where politicians are drilled before they take office we might not know their true capabilities.Politics should be seen as a code for service not games.If the leaders of he world can't do better then the people need to cause a revolution.This is because the political genius never dies but lingers in the minds of generations.We must choose to vote good leaders because in reality the people are the government and the leader only serves.
