Politics - A Family Affair?

When i see present politicians i find most of them coming from old political background. Its make me think that whether the politics has become such a family affair.

Its always easy to find the place in the party if your parents are at high post in them but difficult to make a place by working for the people. Such family touch is the loss for general public.

Politician also become richie rich leaving the general public in hunger and the state poor asking world bank for loan. This also opens the door for next generation to enter into politics as they treat it as the family bussiness and they want to earn money from politics which is easiest occupation for them as it do not require any special degree or knowledge.

Politcis has been losing the touch with common people and gaining urban-centric place. Now main issues have moved from "supplying cheaper items to common man" to "better GDP and mobilr connectivity".

Since the people entering into politics are from rich family background they know how to do business and increase GDP but they don't undrstand the common problem of common man. They know that Mumbai is hot and they haven't experienced it as they are habitial of sitting in ACs.

Such family which dominate political parties are just harvesting what was seeded by their parents. This way they may get richer and earn lots more but will never be able to understand differnce between Politics and Business i.e. Social Work Vs Work for Earnings.

Therefore there should be fare and tranparent way of choosing the party leader and should end this family affair.
