In which case, the shortcomings of politics, and politicians, stands to reason.
I don't mean to be preachy, but it gets on my tits how politicians implore us to vote/believe in them, when I wouldn't trust any of them to wash the car I don't own. It's vapid nonsense, which didn't used to be and certainly shouldn't be. It should have a use, a role, but as it seeks out which use/role it can fulfil, it steadily destroys itself further.
I feel really strongly that this isn't right, and that politics must change beyond its current incarnation before it hits home with the people who matter most, and who can make it a success on the ground - the likes of you and I.
