What qualities are most important for a political figure to have?

I think it’s alarming that in answering this question, most people automatically thought of the president. There are other political figures in our country and the world over. But honestly, the only qualities that matter are the ones that get you elected. And re-elected. All you have to do is look at our elected officials. The qualities they exhibit are the ones you and I voted for. There is no defined set of qualities. The best our political figures can do is to cater to the capriciousness of the American people.

I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

Hi, just replying to your comment on my xanga about this topic. I believe you are correct in the present time, as far as it being impossible to separate church from state, but with a good secular education system, faith in the supernatural would eventually cease to exist, especially with the progress of science. We may all agree on everything in a world where the adult population is reasonable, but the human mind is complex, so there’d still be plenty of diversification. For example, I have friends with the same ideologies as myself, and we have interests in different fields. Thanks for commenting =).
