The speaker asserts that politicians should pursue common ground and reasonable consensus rather than elusive ideals. From my perspective, the statement raises valid points in some aspects, but it is too extreme. It overlooks the circumstance under which some elusive ideals should also be pursued.
For starters, the leaders of nations should devote themselves to seek for common ground and reasonable consensus. As for the living issues, such as medical care and education, politicians should acquire consensus with the citizens. For example, if there is a widespread starvation or plague in the whole country, it is improper for the leaders to insist on pursuing unrealistic ideals without caring about people’s thoughts. By contrast, they should follow the citizens’ ideas to tackle these exigent issues which are tightly related with the well-being of people. Otherwise, it may lead to the turmoil. In addition, politicians should also seek for the consensus on the issue regarding law enactment. If the law which the government want to implement is largely opposed by the majority of residents, the politicians should take the suggestions into consideration. Otherwise, the law may be rejected eventually, and even cause turbulence. Therefore, politicians should pursue common ground and reasonable consensus with the citizens in some circumstance.
However, it does not mean that they should not seek for some ideals which seem unrealistic but actually acceptable. Under certain scenarios, pursuing these ideals may save the whole country and race. For example, Nelson Mandela, an outstanding leader of Africa, spent fifty years fighting against the regime of South Africa. Finally, he successfully eradicate segregation and oppression and achieve the equality for the black. His ideal seemed unrealistic initially, but he insisted on it and eventually accomplished it. The same can also hold for Mahatma Gandhi, he employed nonviolent civil disobedience against British rule, which seemed elusive as well, to achieve Indian independence. Certainly, he is a hero of saving the whole country in the heart of Indian people. Both of them demonstrates that politicians should pursue some elusive ideals as long as the ideals are acceptable.
Nevertheless, we should avoid taking he statement to the extreme. Sometimes if the ideals are elusive and cannot be acceptable, the politicians should relinquish to pursue them in most cases. For instance, the Utopia, which first emerged in sir Thomas More’s work, then became the project of creating an ideal society apart from the demoralizing city. These Utopian projects were especially popular in Britain and France, but the leaders found it unlikely to accomplish in the end. This kind of ideals should not be pursued by the politicians.
Overall, the statement is valid in some aspects, but as for the elusive ideals, they should be discussed case by cased rather than totally rejected.
