It's impossible for an effective political leader to tell the truth all the time.Complete honesty is not a useful virtue for a politician.

An effective political leader must be responsible for people and nation,thus he or she should make the most efforts to be honest at most times as possible as he or she can.But the complexity of politics determined that it is impossible for an effective political leader to tell the truth all the time.For this reason，although honesty is a laudable virtue,complete honesty is not a useful virtue for a politician.

Honesty is a valuable virtue which should be advocated and affirmed.Only when people who constitute society become honest,A society with sincerity could be established and the numbers in society could be trusted each other.An Political leader is a part of numbers in society,so he or she should try his or her best to be honest.As an example of Sars that spreads through the world not long ago,an political leader of any coutries should tell the truth about up-to-date conditions of disease,which embody his or her responsibility to people and nation.By telling the truth,he or she can get trust and support from people,which benefits to the management of nation.

Though honesty,to an political leader,is a virtue that should be advocated,it's only at most times,not all the time.At one time,a political leader,as a public personage,don't tell the truth in order to safeguard good public image.Telling the truth would disgrace him or her,which will damage his or her image in eyes of people.What Cliton,the former president of America,did in Lewinsky case is a good example.But his behaviour in the Lewinsky case,didn't deny that he who creat economic continuing increase in his periods of holding a post is an effective political leader.The lie like this makes little effects on society and did not reduce his supporting rate.But at other occasions,the situation is opposite,Because the complicated politics which contains the struggles among various parties is not simple thing as people think,it is impossible for an effective political leader to tell the truth all the time. In Watergate,Nixon representing  Republican party cover the truth for the sake of winning in the election of president,eventually he obtained overwhelming victory which proves his effectiveness.But when truth of accident is disclosed,he had to resign in 1974 because of the entire lost of trust from people ,and the effection of the whole accident on society is tremendous,which induced the crisis in trust of people towards govenment.The result of 1974 poll about how much faith people believe in the govenment proved the point.

For the above reason,though the virtue of honest,for a effective political leader,is benefit to individual and country,complete honesty is not a useful virtue for a politician.For example,in the election of president,every candidate exaggerates his own advantages and faults of others in order to win.Complete honesty means the lack of competiability,so complete honesty is not a useful virtue for a politician.

tip:

有个叫做“马鸡鸭违例”的家伙写过《君主论》是吧？他的观点就是polititian就是要不择手段。

冷眼向阳:我在武汉。。。考场只有一个。。。

IMONG:刚才查了一下《君主论》，很多观点好像不只可以用在这个题目上，又多一个政治类方面的例子。。。谢谢。。。另外，我觉得有时候对题目的理解也决定了是否写得顺手，最开始我看所有ISSUE题目翻译，老把EFFECTIVE理解为“好的”，觉得极难说理，后来理解为有效的，觉得好写了很多。。。

请各位牛人继续提出宝贵意见。。。
