Will you vote for a politician that is running a betting station

[robelneo]

I had this thread created on Bitcointalk some years ago but might as well create one here, will you vote for a candidate who is running for public office if he is the operator of a gambling platform in your area?
For me, since gambling is legal in our country I will depends my vote based on his performance and how he interacts with people, and it depends on what kind of betting platform he is running a lotto betting station is preferable for me.

Please cast your vote and explain why you voted no or yes

Sometimes, before politicians contest for any position, they might have run for some other small position from which people can access their qualities. So, if the politician has access and I find him to have good qualities as a leader, I will definitely cast my vote for him. Despite the fact that he runs a casino, it doesn't prove him to have fulfilled his obligations as president or governor.

There are two compound words there which means a politician and betting company..
Lets deal away with the betting company first, and focused on the political aspect of voting. Before voting any politician I will have to examine him carefully if he is that charitable otherwise I don't see any reason electing someone who can't really hear the cry of the masses. The main reason we have him is to let him here the cry of the masses and fix things that aren't working in the country hence doesn't have that charisma to fix a nation then we shouldn't vote for him because that is our future and we shouldn't jeopardized our future for anything else.

Then back to the betting company, at first betting company doesn't have anything to do with because his company is being managed by professional gambling operation or who keens to know things about gambling than so, electing the owner doesn't really matter except there was a record of ill activity or was seen as a gambling addicts then we say he isn't worthy enough to handle the position of a government officials.

politicians who runs betting station or owns a cockpit arena in our country are often well known and sometimes people love them while also afraid of them. politicians are often powerful in our country and can just call someone from the high place and make things happen. its good when he favors you but also not if he treats you as enemy. that's why i can only answer Maybe.

it depends whether this politician is also your friend or your friend's friend.

Voting people into public office should be done based on the person's accountability and transparency on how he does things. It is not by the investment that the person posses, if not we might end up voting the wrong person. A politician that runs a bet station can be voted for if he has the mind to transform the country and make the citizens his priority.

Gambling is completely illegal and punishable by law in my country so no politician can commit to such gambling in the political context of my country for now. But one thing is very important that the political leaders of my country do not need the votes of the people so they do not need to be accountable so the corruption of the political leaders is widespread in the political circles. If there was a system of accountability of political leaders to the people, various anti-social activities might have been reduced, but due to the lack of accountability, other anti-social activities including gambling are increasing day by day.

I will not vote for a politicians that has gambling station. That is not a good encouragement to the youth. Gambling nis not full time fun but a partial fun. And I will only vote for a candidate that supports bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies so that it will be legalized when he has won the election and that will help the youth more than a candidate that has betting shop. It is good to do something that will change the life of the youth as a politician and gambling will remove the small money they have in their life. Gambling is not a career and it not a profession so I would vote him.

[SamReomo]

I casted my vote as "maybe" the reason for that is simple. In simple terms the one running a gambling system may get vote from me because I will look for other qualities in that candidate.

If he's someone who's known for doing good work, and is someone with good ethics then why not to caste vote for such a person, no matter even if he runs a casino, I would still vote a person like that if  he's honest and hard-working.

It depends on that specific politician. For me, even if the politician is involved in a certain business that is connected to gambling, as long as it is legal, and they have the necessary documents to prove that they are running a legitimate business, it should not be an issue. The more important thing is their own qualifications for the position or being a politician and whether they have a plan to improve the country. Anything illegal should always be the primary concern, but if gambling is legal in the country, then it is not a problem.

Let's consider a president of a country owning a betting company. If a president has a personal financial stake in the gambling industry, they may be influenced to make decisions that benefit their business interests rather than acting in the best interest of the citizens. This could include voting against regulations that would harm their business or supporting policies that would benefit it.

If a politician owns a betting shop it might raise ethical concerns about a politician profiting from an activity that can have negative impacts on individuals.

However, in my submission, the decision to vote for a politician who owns a betting shop may come down to personal character and judgment. I will judge based on his personality and antecedents rather than judging his credibility based on owning a betting shop.

I would not vote for politician that is running a betting station, but I dont participate in any voting for a long time.
Voting is another form of government scam in most countries because they only have controlled candidates, and they are counting the votes, so it is not important how you voted.
We saw what happened in US but it is the same thing in most countries.

Politicians in my country don't need votes because they don't care about people's votes.  Moreover, the approval of casinos or betting sites is not required by people's votes, but only by giving small gifts to political circles or leaders, casinos or betting sites are approved.  Moreover, since the casino or betting site has not been legalized in my country, politicians in our country do not accept any positive plan regarding such casino or betting site.

If someone has a betting station, then it's most likely that he's also a betting man no? Not all but a majority probably do. I don't know about you but a gambler that will be handling large money coming from people's taxes is a huge red flag for me. You may argue that how they spend the money can be audited but you never know how transparent they really are.

Regardless, each individual has the same right to run for public office or become a politician. Yes, they are entitled because I think it is part of the rights they can get.

But of course before running for office, there is a process that must be passed and obeyed. I don't know if there is a rule that someone who is directly involved with a betting station is prohibited from running for office or not. But it seems to me that there should be ethics and consider not allowing him to run.

[MUGNIA]

No, I will not vote for this politician, because if he wins the election, I am sure that his gambling business will continue to grow and will further damage the mentality of people who want to be rich but don't want to bother working, even though what they are doing, in my opinion, is wrong, relying on gambling for their lives.
