The best way to become good at politics is to have serious political goals and possess IQ and EQ to really analyze how to achieve those goals. There's also a red herring here - politics (in life, work, government), to me, is a proxy concept for ambition. People generally aren't political just because they like the game in and of itself - it's because they have something to prove, something to achieve, or something to gain. The real question is: why are some people more ambitious than others?
