Question Time

On the Question Time just gone, whilst many people as usual were happy to lay into Politicians as a generic minority group bearing characteristics of liars cheats etc, one lady wasn't.

The lady in question was in the audience and was prepared to say the majority of politicians are working voluntarily and putting a lot of effort for very little thanks and deserve a little better than constant villification.

Good for her.

My own experience of involvement with politics, albeit it at a local level for the most part is a feeling of dedicated sincere involvement. There's not many bad people in politics, but there are plenty of bad ideas. And I suspect that applies across all parties, I wish people could recognise politicians for what they are; fallible human beings, and get more involved themselves.
