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.
