ALL Politicians should have to pass the WITCH HUNT Test

[theraskal]

Masato mentioned the wingNUT "witch hunt" phenomena on that Bolsonaro thread which got me to thinking that i would rather that ALL politicians be subjected to passing the "Witch Hunt" test and if there is to be found any evidence of CRIMINAL character and Shady Dealings then they would NOT be allowed to Run for Office.

I'm currently reading "a Monk's Reflections: A View from the Dome" which deals with LEADERSHIP and also influence some contemplation concerning this matter and came to the reasonable conclusion that ALL Political Leaders must be held to a HIGHER standard and if they can't pass "the Witch Hunt" Test because too many skeletons in the closet then they don't deserve the PERKS of HIGHER office

Great idea.

Also, after getting voted into office, it should be normal to have media and independent journalists keeping a constant eye on them all, and if even 1 bit of corruption is found they should face serious penalties.

There is simply no punishment these days for political corruption, so it runs rampant.

I hope we can 1 day evolve to a society where it is commonly agreed that political corruption is among the worst of crimes, to the point that no one would dare try it.
