Getting into politics is a rather complicated task and requires a lot of costs, not only physical and temporary, but also financial. However, at least everyone can try.
Instruction manual
1
Be consistent. Define the ultimate goal and think about how you can achieve it. Never jump above your head and be prepared for the fact that you will have to linger at some stages of your plan for several years. For example, being a young man and setting yourself the goal of becoming a deputy of the city council, you will have to at least join the "District Youth Self-Government", become its chairman, get into the "City Youth Council", if possible become the "Youth Mayor" and only after that take a chance.
2
Seek help inside. Of course, democracy in our country exists: but only for those who run "on their own." As practice shows, in many ways the victory in the elections determines the circle of your acquaintances and connections. That is why you should not be in a hurry - when you communicate in the right circles, in a year or two you will definitely meet a deputy who will offer you "party assistance" or appoint you as personal assistant. The only question is perseverance.
3
Do not stop the activity. The number of people with whom politicians communicate daily exceeds all reasonable limits. The chance that you will be remembered because of one major event is practically zero, so try to take on various kinds of projects and events as often as possible. Constantly in the field of view of relevant people, you will at least be interested in them.
4
Read literature about communicating with people. Even if you have innate charm and charisma, it is absolutely necessary to specify certain things. Therefore, in order to engage in politics, you first need to develop your ability to "impress" as much as possible. The most popular author of books in this field is Allan Pease: his works “Speak correctly” and “Body Language”, if they do not reveal great secrets, will help to systematize knowledge. Conscious charisma is more reliable than innate.
5
Stock up on money. You should not be naive, especially when you are already adults, that you will be treated with honors only for your personal qualities. Youth is easier in this regard, because the ruling class always selects a worthy replacement for itself in the person of young people. More mature people usually do not have the opportunity to go "from afar", so self-promotion will be the most sensible way to start. However, be prepared that such a project will require huge investments (for the average citizen).

Useful advice
- Be careful not to seem like a competitor. Always be a colleague, better assistant.
