I follow politics, but I don't like to discuss it.

Most people don't want to talk about politics and religion. They say, 'Let's talk about something else.'

I am not interested in politics at all. At home, around the dinner table, we never discuss politics.

I've been in politics now for long enough to not worry about what others are saying, but instead to talk about what I believe.

Do you think it's possible to discuss politics without preaching?

You have to be able to interact with people whose politics you disagree with.
