So....I've been reading <---this book, which has been a short and sweet treat of smarts. I've decided to include a picture of it, because Kelsha had pictures of her books (and I am not about to be outdone) and I think it makes for a contrasty image.It's a good book, it's primary argument is to say that all political officers are primarily motivated by a desire to be reelected. Even if they want to do good as some ultimate goal, their proximate goal is to be reelected or else they won't be able to accomplish those ultimate goals.
This motivation affects the nature of the political processes and executions of the government and the behavior of the individual officers themselves.
It's also short, which is good.

That is one of my biggest pet-peeves about politics! Then again, I guess so long as human kind isn't perfect, the government is going to have some form of corruption...
At the same time, the desire to be reelected isn't the worst thing to be motivated by. While it's not ideal, it's better than, say, the desire to eat the dreams of children.
