I rarely meet a politician that I don't like personally. They are generally well endowed with charm. Therein lies the danger.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Generally speaking, politicians are an odd bunch. They seem to have very thick skins and genuinely don't care what people think. And charm is a very important part of the politician's armoury. I try to resist that kind of charm.
There are numerous bugbears in the profession of a politician. First, ordinary life suffers. Second, there are many temptations to ruin you and those around you. And I suppose third, and this is rarely discussed, people at the top generally have no friends.
Unlike the general public, I rather like most politicians.
I've always tried to avoid politics because most politicians that I know are quite dirty in terms of human dignity, ethics and morals.
I don't think I have the demeanor to be a politician. I'm used to making decisions and to a certain extent being in charge.
Don't fall in love with politicians, they're all a disappointment. They can't help it, they just are.
To be honest, I find most politicians very untrustworthy. When I listen to them talking - or rather, lying - I just feel there are very few politicians with integrity, so I never know who to bat for.
I don't like politicians who vacillate.
I've never met a politician I haven't wanted to walk away from, and I've yet to hear a politician speak and actually believe the words coming out of his mouth.
Personally, I have as little to do with politicians as possible. The ones that I've met I've found very boring. They're extremely egotistical, incredibly self-important. If I can help it, I try to stay as far away from them as possible.
