- Politicians are a minority ethnic group characterized by their brutal quest for power and manipulation of the majority. Though widely despised by "the common people", politicians continue to hold 100% of the power in western industrialized countries such as the United States, the UK, and France. With this in mind, many politicians have made an attempt to disown their native roots and adopt the false persona of a common person, or "Joe". But as of July 2011, politicians are allowed to be shot and brought to bounty. Each one will be awarded $999999 for making the world a better place. Among the greatest threats to the stability of America's Politician dominated government is the Tea Party. Armed with old wigs and pictures of Obama dressed as Hitler, Tea Party supporters are led by Glenn Beck and the Republican "mama bears" to disrupt "politics as usual" and "take back our country". A politician typically enjoys such pleasurable activities as lying, pretending to be gangsters (or in the UK, Chavs, See "David Cameron") in an effort to appeal to the "Peasants" and stealing people's money in order to fund their own perverted lifestyles.

Captain James T. Kirk disagreed, arguing that "they were humanitarians and statesmen, and they had a dream." (TOS: "Whom Gods Destroy" ) Following the end of the Bajoran Occupation, Commander Benjamin Sisko asked Quark to continue running his bar on Deep Space 9 in an effort to help rebuild the business community. Quark was surprised by the prospect of him being a community leader. Odo, however, remarked that Quark had all the character references of a politician. (DS9: "Emissary") Future Federation President Jaresh-Inyo became a politician in the 2300s. (DS9: "Homefront", "Paradise Lost") Upon hearing of Kira Nerys's connections in the Bajoran Provisional Government, Tahna Los remarked that he'd never realized Kira was such an accomplished politician. Kira, however, did not think of herself in that way. (DS9: "Past Prologue") When a crowd gathered with the return of Li Nalas to Bajor in 2370, Minister Jaro Essa remarked that as a politician he could not resist the opportunity to address the crowd himself. (DS9: "The Homecoming") During the subsequent coup attempt against the Bajoran Provisional Government, Commander Benjamin Sisko told Li Nalas that his status as Bajor's greatest war hero could give him leverage over General Krim. Sisko rhetorically asked whether Krim would "rather follow a politician, or Bajor's greatest war hero?" (DS9: "The Siege") Kotan Pa'Dar was considered a prominent politician on Cardassia in 2370. (DS9: "Cardassians") While trying to dissuade Jadzia Dax from following a blood oath sworn by her previous host Curzon Dax, Koloth claimed that Curzon was a politician and as such only swore the oath as a diplomatic ploy. (DS9: "Blood Oath") Bajoran First Minister Shakaar Edon remarked to Odo in 2372 that "You know, I've been a soldier, and I've been a politician. And I have to say I'm beginning to think that... being a soldier was easier." (DS9: "Crossfire") Later that year, when Akorem Laan encouraged Bajorans to return to the D'jarra caste system, he remarked that "Artists have become soldiers, priests have become merchants, and farmers have become politicians." (DS9: "Accession") Danara Pel noted in that year that many Vidiian politicians and scientists had never developed compassion for the people that kept them alive. (VOY: "Lifesigns") In 2373, the Changeling impersonating Martok noted that Klingon Chancellor Gowron was a politician, too eager to compromise and too eager to talk. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising") As Tekeny Ghemor lay dying later that year, he undertook the Shri-tal, passing political secrets to Kira Nerys. Kira found the ritual exhausting, however, as Ghemor appeared to have information on every bureaucrat and politician on Cardassia Prime. (DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water") After it was discovered that the Romulan Star Empire had established plasma torpedo launchers on the Bajoran moon Derna, Admiral Ross informed Colonel Kira that he could not get involved, as this would jeopardize the Alliance. Kira retorted that Ross was starting to sound like a politician. (DS9: "Shadows and Symbols") In 2375, Ru'afo noted to Vice Admiral Matthew Dougherty that if the USS Enterprise-E got through with news of the nature of deal between the Federation and the Son'a to exploit the Ba'ku, the Federation's politicians would waver and a public debate would be opened. (Star Trek: Insurrection) A holographic simulation of Doctor Crell Moset created by The Doctor in that year stated that Cardassians had no business in occupying Bajor, "but try telling that to the politicians." (VOY: "Nothing Human") When Worf was offered the post of Federation ambassador to Qo'noS following the end of the Dominion War, he noted that he was not a diplomat. Chancellor Martok replied, "and I am not a politician, but sometimes fate plays cruel tricks on us." (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")

Global-3 Technical Official-2 Politician-3 SDFM-1.png|Captain Global leaves just as the Politician's about to introduce him. On February 7, 2009, the Politician went with Captain Bruno J. Global to the SDF-1 Macross's launch ceremony via a limousine. Within the limousine. The Politician waved to the citizens of South Ataria Island and wondered why Captain Global did not do the same, believing Captain Global may have had a hangover, he quickly persuaded Captain Global to wave afterwards, however. As the limousine went past a sidewalk where the mayor and his colleague were standing, the mayor called him a "Macross bigwig" and his colleague said that they were "making a bee line for the launch ceremony". His limousine arrived at the Macross and it drove past an F203 Dragon II, a FL-200 Mistral and a VF-1A Valkyrie. Later on in the day, he made a speech outside the Macross and was about to introduce Captain Global to the audience but an officer had informed Captain Global of the detection of gravitational spectroscopic anomalies from a high lunar orbit (Zentradi ships). Captain Global then uttered that it was just like ten years ago, when the Macross first appeared and quickly descended in an elevator on the stage, leaving the Politician in front of a confused audience. (SDFM: "Boobytrap") Shammy Milliome-1 Misa Hayase-3 Bruno J. Global-5 Politician-1 Claudia LaSalle-2 SDFM-2.png Politician-2 SDFM-2.png Later that day, during the calm before the battle, the Politician entered the bridge of the Macross and proceeded to persuade Captain Global to launch the Macross. Captain Global protested, stating that the Macross was not even fully supplied. The Politician explained that the government had sank a lot of money into repairing the Macross and therefore would hate to see it destroyed sitting on the ground. ARMD-01 had been put out of commission but ARMD-02 was still combat ready and thus he ordered Captain Global to launch and dock with it immediately. Captain Global retorted that there had been reports that the enemy had warships even bigger than the Macross, but the Politician believed that size was irrelevant and that the important thing was to have the ambition to get the job done. The Politician asked Captain Global if Macross would defeated here without even putting up a fight. Captain Global had no answer to that question and agreed to the orders to launch. The Politician left the bridge, telling Shammy and Kim to do their best. All the while, Kim had been listening to the conversation and Shammy had second thoughts on space travel upon learning that they would launch during the fighting. (SDFM: "Countdown")
