Makes about as much sense as saying an army general needs to be able to set a good time on the obstacle course.Originally posted by Batcher View Post

Envy? That doesn't make sense.Originally posted by d000hg View Post
Politicians are always said to be living in a bubble with no idea of real life. This is true of Dave, Ed & Nick who have been career politicians. To be a good poitician takes empathy with the majority of your citizens so you know how your policies can affect them in a positive or negative way.
If you only ever meet people who kiss your butt then you begin to behave like the emperor with no clothes.Comment

Generally, though, an army general has at some stage in their career run the obstacle course so can relate to what the lower orders that (s)he commands are being made to do.Originally posted by d000hg View Post
The same cannot be said of any career politician of any party these days.Comment

I don't agree with that. When dealing with tens of millions of people, ANY decision is going to hurt some section of the population... even policies aimed at helping the poor you will find some edge cases where it screws them over. One needs objectivity and the ability to be detached from emotion when making tough decisions - hence my comparison with a general who knows at some time they may have to send thousands to their deaths.Originally posted by Batcher View Post
That's a much better come-back and one I find hard to counter. I don't think I'd say politicians should all have worked as manual labourers or even low-paid jobs, but they should have at least had a career even if a highly paid one. Do any nations have a system which tries to enforce this?Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment

Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

Another good piece about Nicola Why the hysteria over Nicola Sturgeon? | Deborah Orr | Comment is free | The Guardian
England can now see the political stalemate that Scotland has been able to see for decades now. That’s why she is dangerous. She reveals the truth about British democracy. Sturgeon is dangerous to the political classes, because she is offering voters a clearer view of how the political classes work.Comment

As Ed will soon learn. A bit of whisky, some Tartan to bite down on and a strap-on curiously shaped like Trident, all she needs to deflower the Marxist geek.Originally posted by minestrone View Post

Now, that's something I would pay good money NOT to see a photograph of...
