“I wish that people come to the realization that politicians are only as good as the nature of their public.”
— Ralph Nader

Simplified Meaning:
Politicians tend to reflect the attitudes, values, and behaviors of the people they represent. For example, if a community values honesty, they are more likely to elect honest leaders. Conversely, if a society is comfortable with corruption, they might end up with corrupt politicians. It's like a mirror effect—politicians show us what the majority of people in a society care about and tolerate. To see better politicians, people need to set high standards for honesty and integrity in their own lives. So, if you want good leaders, start by being a good person and encouraging others to do the same.
