Political mileage

 

In politics Everything works or operates primarily for votes and political mileage of any party anywhere in the world.

Everything else is unintended consequences, incidental and/or accidental benefits or concomitant aspects or inevitable sequences etc.

They predominantly act depending on what comes within the radar of attention and certain priorities based on their power dynamics related aspects.

It may include some or all of these, i.e., political expediencies, opportunistic compromises and so on. Usually, politicians have a natural ability to be proactive or to react quickly and spontaneously ( throwing caution, repercussions, diplomacy to the winds).

They have readymade pet and catchy slogans to bet on the patchy emotional vulnerabilities of many.

As for the consumption of anyone who dares to question their actions, they justify by saying their actions are based on larger interest and long-term benefits of the society when their term itself will get decided every election or till next dictator takes over.

Both religion and politics play a dominant role in society because people tend to outsource many life-related issues to these agencies for various reasons or as a matter of habit and tradition.
