Do what's right even if it's not best for the people; do what's best for the people even if it's not what they want; do what people want only if it meets the the first two conditions
Two Word: SUBJECTIVE MORALITY.
What's right in a politicians eyes is not necessarily what's right in the people's eyes.
What's best for the people might not be what they have as best.
What they want is what they want.
The road to hell is paved with one thing:
Good Intentions
. Very seldom do people set out to do evil. It's in pursuit of what they believe is right and best that the greatest evils of all time have been perpetrated. What was right for Germany was to reclaim their power. What was best for the German people was conquest and the Final Solution.
To have a "right" that a Politician should try to pursue you have to have a concrete morality. And Objective Morality is not a thing that actually exists. A best goes along with the same.
Everyone is different, and following a belief that a leader should do what's right, what's best for the people above their will is precisely how freedom dies and how you get Nazis and Commies, the world's worst villains.
