In Asia, if you're lucky, in addition to inheriting from your parents a used car and a few debts can inherit a seat in Parliament and, if you're really lucky, even a country.
What the Kim dynasty in North Korea has much fanfare because it was the only case so far of the communist dynasty, but modestitos cases have occurred in Asia.
In the Philippines the political families like that one of its members as the governor or the mayor of the main town in the province, while another sits in Manila. The province is in the care of the power base that is local and should not be neglected. The one in Manila, which is the capital of all the perks and the corruption is there to sweep for the home. Neglecting the local leg or the leg Manilan and your power will be compromised.
Let's look at some examples. Senator Edgardo Angara has his son Rep. Juan Edgardo Angara as the province of Aurora, which is his daughter Gov. Bellaflor J. Angara-Castillo. At Osmeña, whose power base is in Cebu, the senate deprived: Senior senator Sergio Osmeña during the U.S. occupation and then President of the Philippines from 1944 to 1946, his son Sergio Osmeña was also Junior Senator, the Senate has come gene the third generation, grandchildren John Henry Osmeña and Sergio Osmeña III were also senators (the latter still is). Another of his grandsons, Lito Osmeña, former Governor of Cebu, and Tomas Osmeña, another grandchild, was mayor of Cebu for 9 years and is now a congressman from the province. The fourth generation also suggests ways: his great-grandson John Gregory Osmeña was vice-governor of Cebu, but then his career went into dry dock.
Do not think you can only enter if you belong to a political dynasty hearth. A few movies and a bit of popularity can also serve as a springboard to enter politics and start his own race. The former President Joseph Estrada came from a wealthy family, but no special political connections. Now his wife Luisa Pimentel, Jinggoy Estrada and his son are senators and his nephew Emilio Ramon "ER" Ejercito III is mayor of Pagsanjan. Estrada has had time to place your child in wedlock Joseph Victor Ejercito, former mayor of San Juan, like father who held the same position, and is now a congressman from this city.
And to top it off, the last two presidents of the Philippines out of the blue, but almost almost born for the job. The former President, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the daughter of Diosdado Macapagal, was president of the country from 1961 to 1965. The current President, Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, son of Corazon Aquino, President of the country reeling from 1986 to 1992.
impress "Philippine political dynasties? Yes, a little, until one is found with the dynasty of the Nehru dynasty to be a democracy of one billion people own it imposes.
Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, the son of Motilal Nehru was one of the founders and leaders of the Congress Party. Nehru was bright and charismatic. He was Prime Minister of India since independence in 1947 until his death in 1964. His daughter Indira Gandhi (he adopted the name of her husband at marriage) inherited his intelligence and his desire to send multiplied by fourteen. Was Prime Minister from 1966 to 1977, voters will let him take a break. In 1980 he repeated over and there it was in 1984 when she was murdered by one of his bodyguards. As the Indians had already been taken to haunt Nehru-Gandhi family, his successor was his son Rajiv, who was Prime Minister until 1991, when Death, who had also haunt the family, took him with a garland of flowers, which placed a bomb-laden Tamil terrorist. Since her children were young, by force of habit, it appears that his widow should have been his successor (and later tell what legitimizes a well-run widow), but had a small problem that was of Italian origin. Although in the Congress Party proposed that he be prime minister, she wisely declined. But the force of habit was so strong, he could not refuse the leadership of the Party when it was offered in 1998, after he had received a few sticks election. Sonia will not have been Prime Minister as his mother and her husband, but in 2004 was decisive in that Manmohan Singh became Prime Minister of India. Today is grooming his son Rahul to be the next leader of the Congress Party and possibly the future Prime Minister of the country.
The example of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty has begun spread. Other families have asked if they can, why not me, I settle for a seat and a regional government? Recently, the French historian and writer Patrick did a study that found that 28.6% of national parliamentarians had entered Parliament through family connections. In the case of parliament, the proportion was 69'5%. But perhaps the worst figure of all is that the proportion of parliamentarians from political dynasties is the two-thirds in the case of minors 40 years and 100% for those under 30 years.
In states I inherit the father's political position is still much more developed. When he died unexpectedly in late 2009 YSR Reddy, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, immediately launched a campaign to succeed him his son, Jagan Mohan Reddy, whose only political experience was to have submitted a few weeks before an election campaign helped by his dad. Jagan Mohan did not achieve its goal, but the funeral of his father helped him build his political career in Asia and have a illustrious dead in the family helps a lot.
The equivalent in Bihar is Lalu Prasad Yadav, who has been the Prime Minister and President of the State Minister in the government. When in 1997 he was involved in a corruption scandal, did the obvious. No, the obvious is not returning the money and resign, the obvious is to put your wife semi-literate women in the place you came to occupy you. Lalu also had a pair of brothers, Sadhu and Subhash, who had not out of place in the series "The Sopranos.
Muthuvel Karunanidhi is one such dance, in this case in Tamil Nadu, where he has been Prime Minister on several occasions. His third son, who responds to the peculiar name of Muthuvel Karunanidhi Stalin, known as MK Stalin, is currently Deputy Minister of Tamil Nadu, since simultaneously with the son of the Prime Minister today. His daughter MK Kanimozhi also regional parliamentary assembly.
could go to other states of India and other families, but I think the idea is clear, right?
