He wants to become a politician

My younger brother wants to become a politician and form his own political party. What advice would you give him? What would you like to see in politicians in general? What qualities should my brother have? He is very down to earth, friendly, just, compassionate, and he hates to discriminate and he believes in God. Please share your thoughts. Thanks.

you must be :

i. knows how to manipulate facts

ii. keep millions but stay low-profile

iii. create the stories that not impossibily exist and make people believe in it.

iv. knows how to promise moon and stars to people.

v. know-how to take money from big-tycoon and stay away from them.

v. at some countries, ready for the worst ...

another word, pick up other profession than politician. politic sucks.

by the way, if you brother is down-to-earth, be human than...

Yeah... good idea. becoming a politician is a growth industry and you dont need a lot of qualifications this days to start shouting from the tree tops

Many people thought that they can make a change, but it will never happen as long as you stick to some specific dogmas or views.

And one of them is "He believes in God".

Now if he is one of the type of people that won't here a thing when it comes to debates about God or creation , then I guess all his work would be futile.

We need more open-minded ,secular and educated people that don't have hidden agendas or dogmas .

Thank you all. You are all correct. I told him. But he is so eager and seems very sincere in his aim. He believes he can make a change. I just hope this desire of his wears out, the sooner the better.

I THINK THE BEST FOR HIM IS TO BECOME A PREACHER...

" He is very down to earth" doesn't go along with "and he believes in God" especially in a place like UK or any of which got a high population of Atheists or Agnostics.
