such as what credit card companies do for common people.... your performance decided whether you can or cannot contest next election and what posts you are allowed to contest... the credit score is determined by summing approval ratings across your past decisions...
I was a representative of the state committee of the Green Party in New York State circa 2004 which is an elected position and I felt tension between: (1) What I personally thought was right and (2) what my constituents thought was right. Sometimes those agreed and sometimes they didn't. Somebody might praise a politician because he has strongly held beliefs that he sticks to, somebody else might praise a politician because he listens to the people. Many great politicians do a bit of one and a bit of the other.
While I agree to what you said about tensions being there between (1) and (2), but I still would like to know why is there tensions between (1) and (2)? Shouldn't they be same?
Of course this would be the "ideal" way, but that is what my OP is about. I understand that most people run for these posts to make more money, much much more, but still it frustrates me to think when these people ONLY care about the money part.
