Philosopher Blerim Latifi shows why citizens constantly trust politicians, even though deceived by them

Mr. Latifi has mentioned Italian great thinker Nikollo Makiavell to answer a very ancient political question: why do politicians, even when they break their promises, again make other promises and win support?

The thinker from Florence expressed the belief that “people were generally naive, believed easily, and had short-term memories, and that they were guided by the need of the moment and would be quickly deceived. ”

In fact, Makiavell writes in his great work “Prince” that the most powerful feeling citizens can control is not that of faith, or love, but that of fear.

It is not known whether these misunderstood opinions of the thinker, Mr. Firmia. Latif even passed it on to Mr. Kadri Wessel, who served as speaker of the Parliament in the past legislature. Latif had been his political adviser during that period.

The following is his full status:

How is it that even when politicians break their promises, they still make other promises and regain support? Makiaveli has an interesting answer: People are generally naive, believe easily, have short - term memories, are guided by immediate needs, and are thus quickly deceived. Even the cheater will again find people who allow him to cheat.
