Part of the problem you have is that you don't have a dialogue between elected officials and their constituents. They've built these barricades, these barriers around themselves and tried to avoid interaction with their constituents.

Elizabeth Emken

The Supreme Court consistently favors organized money and the political privileges of the corporate class. We have a Senate that is more responsive to affluent constituents than to middle-class constituents, while the opinions of constituents in the bottom third of income distribution have no apparent effect at all on the Senate's roll call votes.

Bill Moyers

To me, a politician's job is to listen to constituents' problems and try to sort them out.

Jo Brand

Others will have opinions on how I do and that's just fine... I've been elected four times, delivered results for my constituents and delivered legislative policy changes that have helped veterans, for example. So, I'm going to keep doing the hard work that I've done that has worked so far for my community and for our team.

Pierre Poilievre

How is it reasonable that in a country purporting to be a democracy, I am not permitted to speak freely? Why, as a politician, should I be banned from expressing political opinions? Why, as a student of history, can I not present the facts as I see them, without fear of reprisal?

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari

The successful politician owes his power to the fact that he moves within the accepted framework of thought, that he thinks and talks conventionally. It would be almost a contradiction in terms for a politician to be a leader in the field of ideas. His task in a democracy is to find out what the opinions held by the largest number are, not to give currency to new opinions which may become the majority view in some distant future.

Friedrich August von Hayek

I'm an elected politician. If you don't agree with me, vote for somebody else.

Geert Wilders

Any politician who can be elected only by turning Americans against other Americans is too dangerous to be elected.

Thomas Sowell

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.

Albert Einstein

We were all elected to try to improve the lives of our constituents.

Dominic Grieve

My constituents want me to be outspoken - it's part of the reason they elected me - and the inevitable side effect of being outspoken is that, occasionally, you put your foot in your mouth.

Jared Polis

I'm elected. I don't report to any politician. I report to the people. If I had to report to any politician, I'd quit tomorrow. I'm not tall, dark and handsome. They don't vote for me because I look like a movie star. I can't get that vote. People keep voting for me because they like what I do.

Joe Arpaio

If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner.

H. L. Mencken

When I was elected to Congress, I made a commitment to my constituents that my office would set the standard to be open and transparent.

Elise Stefanik

It's not something that defines me. I'm not a half-Indian politician or a doctor politician or a gay politician for that matter... it is part of my character, I suppose.

Leo Varadkar

[A politician is] a person skilled in the art of compromise. Usually an elected official who has compromised to get nominated, compromised to get elected, and compromised repeatedly to stay in office.
