		<description><![CDATA[2 reasons:
1. It deprives constituents of fully devoted representation
When officials take an oath of office, they are bound to fulfill that oath and dedicate their attention and activities on behalf of their constituency. By campaigning for any office other than for re-election, a politician&#8217;s time is spent away from and focused on something other than [...]
