that politician said"I finally became an assembly member … with the sole purpose of changing society … This Japan … I want to change this society … I have staked my life … Don't you understand?"

So... by putting Seiga in his place, does that mean his words are just lies?

Not quite. Her motive in DDC was to change society. She just chose the wrong way and pissed off the wrong people.

I seriously doubt Seija's motives were anything other than ulterior.

I'd love to imagine Seija is just the goofy troll type, but to me, she comes off as either legitimately evil or unable to possibly comprehend why what she's doing is wrong.

Given the choice, I'd suspect it's more a case of the latter than the former. I think Seija's mindset is that, as an amanojaku for whom "opposites" are her stock-in trade, the more people hate her, the more that means they really love her, at least in her own mind. As a result, she honestly cannot understand that it doesn't always work that way with other humans and youkai. I don't believe she's actually "evil" in the classic sense, she just can't help herself; it's all in how her brain is wired.

IMO only, of course.

It's in her nature as Amanojaku to be that. I think comparing her to a troll comes pretty close.

This is really more about the real-life person's statements (which are fairly similar to what's being said here) than what Seija actually did, though.

The guy was caught basically just spending taxpayer money on himself, and claimed it was "for the good of society". Hence, a whole lot of calling bullshit on the guy.

With Seija here, then un-reversed, it's basically, "I was stealing money for myself. I had a great time at those hot springs on your money. Haha, fuck you!"

That sound more like what she would say... and what real-life politician would do.

Nobody's evil in touhou. Like all the other youkai in gensoukyo she just likes pulling pranks on people. The only difference with her is she's that kind of person that doesn't know when to cut it out.
