There are some politicians who are in the field because of genuine convictions in their beliefs and wish to improve the state of the country and the individuals living in it. Not many for sure, but there does seem to be some.The issue is Zack Polanski can say what he likes, his lot are just the flip-side of the coin to Farage or as I have heard said before "two cheeks of the same ass"
We will NEVER see anyone in Power who is good as anyone who wants that much Control over others is a sure sociopath & that isn't good.
In old Japan if a person in power behaved in a way that brought shame upon himself or his area he would be forced to cut out his own stomach in front of everyone then have their head chopped off, this kept most people who wanted power for their own reasons in check, just think about that for a moment before you say anything.
I can't think of any current examples of any such people, apart from Jeremy Corbyn. And then going further back you had the likes of Tony Benn, a person with genuine convictions who was in the job for the right reasons. Even some conservatives have been decent genuine people, Ken Clarke for example was one such, it seemed to me. And Charles Kennedy, former Lib Dem leader, and one of only about 3 politicians who was not milking their "expenses" at all, unlike the other 99% taking the piss to such an extent, that one of them claimed for a duck house, on a little island, on a river or lake on his property. He got paid thousands for it too.
No wonder people distrust politicians as a general rule.
