Questions

What is happening? Who are these candidates who claim to want to help the country?
I think before you express your passion to help, you have to ask yourself the following:
1. Do I know how the law works? (Really works? The right way?)
2. Do I know the process to make/amend/veto the law?
3. Will I cheat to acquire the possition?
4. Can I trust myself not to use the acquired possition to get money/ influence people?
5. Is this(helping the country) what I really want? Or what my advisers want?
6. Can I make a real dfference?
7. If the country gets worse, do I still have a clear conscience?

If you are a running candidate, ask yourself these questions.
See if you can answer them correctly.
