The principle of noninvolvement in politics clearly has bearing on the Baha'i approach to established governments. Baha'is believe that existing forms of governments will fade away of their own accord in the course of time, dying out like the dinosaur because they have outlived their time. However, whilst the present political system exists Baha'is must practise a positive neutrality by demonstrating total loyalty to all established governments. (119:3) "In every country or government where any of this community reside, they must behave toward that government with faithfulness, trustfulness and truthfulness." (Baha'u'llah)
(119:4)
