"In politics, there is no use looking beyond the next fortnight"

- Joseph Chamberlain

About this Quote

Joseph Chamberlain's quote recommends that in politics, it is not beneficial to focus on the long-lasting. Instead, it is more important to concentrate on the instant future. This is since politics is a constantly altering landscape, and what is very important today might not be important tomorrow. By concentrating on the next 2 weeks, political leaders can remain on top of the current developments and make choices that will benefit them in the short-term. This quote likewise implies that political leaders must not get too connected to any particular idea or plan, as it may not be relevant in the future. By remaining concentrated on today, politicians can stay agile and responsive to the ever-changing political landscape.
