I am not 'tarring everyone with the same brush' as you call it, there are many decent politicians on all sides, just as there .
many charlatans on all sides. How on earth does it undermine confidence in democratic politics to says so?
Sorry Elwood, I can't agree, your generality condemns the political institutions. Many people would like nothing better than wash their hands of politicians altogether and wish a plague on all their houses. I think it irresponsible to give succour to that view. Just my opinion Elwood, yours is entirely different to mine and I respect that. At least it's refreshing to have a good natured discourse with you absent of petty ad hominem digs.
