Why do people want to become politicians and want to go into politics at the national level? Presumably, many years ago, people went into politics because they believed it was their civic duty to represent the people of their districts and believed they could do it well.

Incumbents can claim that they are ¿climbing the ladder and if re-elected could do even more¿. Would be politicians have a difficult time overcoming those kind of statements.

Professional politicians often have very different agendas, many of which are not in the best interests of their constituency.

This book is part of that work. There is more to be done and I will continue my research.
