In the family, no one is ever pushed. I came to politics spontaneously; there was no obligation. It has to happen naturally.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Politics was sort of a way of life in our family.
When I got into politics, it was a shock. People promise all sorts of things and then never deliver.
My parents always went to rallies and demonstrated against certain things; my generation, we often have a political conscience, but we're not that involved.
Not everyone is comfortable with being pushed.
My family was entirely political, all the time, on the left. The opposite of that is not to be political on the right. It's trying not to be - politics is not everything. There's life other than politics. Politics intrudes.
Ours was not a political household, when I was growing up.
My family is really into politics.
If you are from an ordinary working class family, life is just much harder than many people in politics realise.
It always seemed to be a constant that my parents were political.
No one in my family had ever been in politics. My dad thought it was something that got in the way.
