Power can be addictive for politicians


So you want to be a political leader? – 123rf.com

IT is wrong to assume that we would all want to stand for elections should the opportunity present itself. It takes a certain type of personality and zeal to do that.

An ideal politician is one who is motivated by equality, social justice and care for others. Almost all politicians have intrinsic “power values”, which is the wish to control resources and to take charge of others. Some may also have narcissistic qualities of wanting to be noticed and admired.
