There are politicians who are so disgustingly tactical that they would never garner votes (Mandelson is the best example, with the likes of Livingstone and Pickles in second rank); and we all know altruistic people, but they tend to stay far away from public office. I suppose there is a "bunching" effect caused by our (the electorate's) desire for leaders to be both strong, and principled. And I think the norm is moving further into the tactical area. Shits who are transparently nasty people, but what do we care if they just fix the economy and allow me to maintain my perks/wealth/benefits/pension/etc.Sam Vegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05978971199859845931noreply@blogger.com
