This, of course, highlights one of the basic problems of politics: elected officials have to say not what they believe but rather what the public wants to hear. And when they do have an agenda they want to pursue, their justification for their proposed actions often must cite aims that have little or nothing to do with what they really want to achieve.

Considered a politician

* A person who is active in party politics.
* In a state, a member of the executive branch of government, or the office of Head of State, as well as the legislative branch, and regional and local levels of government.
* Any person influencing group opinions in his or her favor can be termed a politician. For example, a worker participating in office politics is a politician, but only so far as the operations of his or her workplace are concerned.
* Some law enforcement officers, such as sheriffs, and many judges who are elected or appointed because of their political views or popularity.
