give up that chance to have a private life with your wife, children and close family, to have a job as a Prime Minister, or a big business mogul.

You hardly see your kids, travelling abroad one day, then flying somewhere else the next, and hardly a good nights sleep, 24 x 7.

No privacy, every minute being followed by the press, even on holiday, your previous early life dissected, for what, to just be important with a good salary and pension.
Everybody seems to hate you, and you maybe die a millionaire, but for what?

I get pi@@ed off when someone calls at my home without notice, so I don't think its for me!

That could be the next scandal! That bit I couldn't do, they never seem to get a day off, constantly on hand and being contacted whenever home or world affairs require it.

because some people have ambition to do more than have a wife and children. I really don't think nyone gets into politics for the money do they? They do it because they have drive, and want to change things
money,power,and sometimes doing good for your country or not
Power.
Wouldn't mind half their money without the notoriety!
Ambition.

Egotism.
It's a good thing that someone wants to do it but I'd rather some of them hadn't bothered.
Drive and ambition.
I doubt money has much to do with it, you can earn much more in business or celebrity. My boss probably earns at least as much as the PM.
Question Author
I wonder how many times a PM, past and present have awoken in the morning, and would have liked to turn over and go back to sleep?
I can, and its great.

I may not be rich, but I have everything I want/need, including a lovely family, and they dont make pockets in coffins.

Serious Q: Do you think these people take stimulants to keep fresh & awake?
