I often see that most political parties speak of great things and indulge in petty acts. Do you think it is just natural with power hungry people?

Right or left, the more power hungry they get, the nastier and meaner they are. Some people are in politics to actually HELP other people...go figure

I don’t like the two party system. Should just be who you are and what you believe. No parties.

The people voting in a two party system is pretty farcical, especially in the UK. Both parties are terrible.

It is one of those ways that they try to convince the public about doing things that they can't even do on a normal day. I don't fall for it anymore.

They get really annoying at times. Especially when they spam election ads everywhere.

I'm not a fan of the two party system, I will say that I favor the points of one side more than the other however. All politicians are corrupted though, doesn't matter which side it's from. When people start bringing politics into the mix during conversations, it usually doesn't end up well unless the person is talking to someone who agrees with them, then it becomes a echo chamber.

American Politics system is good compared to our dirty policians. Here one can become PM or CM as many as times by winning elections also their sons only stand in the future too, but in America it should be 2 times only only from a family.

I don't trust either of the American party system, both push their agenda and can't back up election promises very well once in office. Our system is a little rough and nearly broken.

Politics in the UK needs a massive overhaul and there needs to be more choice but realistically its never going to happen.

It’s become more obvious to me that politicians are just puppets and the real leaders are hidden from the public eye. People are waking up.

It will be difficult to make such an implementation because a lot of rich men will want to enjoy monopoly of power. Well, not only that...but as someone who's been in the system, you need to have others around you to accomplish things in politics - and it's difficult to put teams together on a one-time, ad hoc basis. You need to have a regular group to go to...so I think political parties are natural constructs, based on how people think and how systems of power and governance develop.
I will agree, however, that at least in the United States, the two "major" parties are basically power and money aggregators - basically, hierarchies to ensure that elites will have their agendas catered to. There is a general adherence to ideology, but that doesn't appear to be the primary factor.

I'm a Conservative Republican and as a party we have to start doing better and keeping promises. Otherwise, it wouldn't take much for me to switch to Libertarian.....or, Independent

I think this is the reason there is a lot of betrayals that happen in politics. Each person trying to have a way to maximize their interest.

Most people have a developed sense of altruism and fair play, and can build a mutually beneficial society - but it takes very few people acting purely out of selfishness to damage such a society beyond its functionality. It's why "utopias" don't really work.

This is a place where a lot of politicians are always selfish and wants to remain in power.

It's just the nature of politics my friend. There's no righteous politician out there in the world. They will promise you A and do B.

Honestly, there are good people in politics, just as there are good people in any profession. Of course, there are a lot of bad ones out there, too...and like I said, they tend to stick out in your mind more.
