Answer:
Politics teach you how to tackle people and gain your own interest. For your want and need you destroy the other wants and right its called politics
Explanation:
There's a much easier way to use politicians to get what you want...
I have a way of saving you £250,000. That is pretty impressive, isn’t it? It is very simple. It came to light this weekend in the Sunday Times that the Conservative Party co-treasurer was offering access to the Prime Minister in return for donations of a quarter of a million pounds. For that money you get to enjoy Shepherd’s Pie and Krug in the rarefied confines of the Number 10 flat, with the beautiful Samantha topping up your glass with a wink and a smile.
You can see why the less well-informed businessman would be seduced by such an offer. Money buys power in politics. Money therefore must be able to get the policy outcomes you desire. However, as my book How to Use Politicians to Get What You Want, demonstrates, YOU can influence policy as easily as the man in the pin striped suit with deep pockets.
It all comes down to incentives. David Cameron (as with all the party leaders) is incentivised to endure these dinners at his flat because it is a way of squeezing money out of the corporate world for the benefit of the next General Election campaign. Without the necessary funds, his party will not be able to achieve an overall majority.
However, politicians are motivated by a variety of pressures, and money is often the least of them. An MP has to keep a whole host of people happy in order to retain their job for the long term and to climb the proverbial greasy pole.
They have to keep their constituents happy, as a withdrawal of support from them will bring an immediate end to their parliamentary ambitions.
What about MPs with large majorities of 10,000 votes or more, who can disregard large swathes of the voting public? Well, in those instances, the biggest threat tends to come from the MPs’ local party members. If this tiny majority of people turn against you, it is unlikely you will survive.
They have to keep the local media on board. Bad headlines will influence both voters and the local party members.
Then there are the national pressures too. The whips office, there to ensure party discipline and the progression of government business, will bully and threaten MPs to vote against their conscience in many instances.
In short, it is a tough job, which is why individuals and communities need to harness these multiple pressures on our policy makers to get what they want. As my book outlines, we all need to be more effective in the way we deal with politicians. Use their power to strengthen the complaints you make to companies which try to screw you with unfair charges. You can do this by copying any correspondence with your corporate tormentors to relevant local MPs, ministers and regulators.
In turn, you can ensure that politicians pull their fingers out by making a direct link between your request for help and the local implications if they do not. Make them work for you and become your champion when appropriate. It could save you money and make you feel empowered at a time when people are feeling ever more dislocated from the political process.
My book outlines a range of techniques and actual examples to help you succeed. And all this for the price of £4.99. For a reasonable fee you can even have dinner at my house. I can’t promise champagne, but I’ll certainly throw in a decent bottle of Cava.
