But for balance of course there have been some great Politicians. Mo Mowlem's part in N.Irelands Peace talks, Claire Short in her defience of the Whip, over the Invasion of Iraq.

Actually there are 650 MPs elected to the Commons, but I catch your drift.
I work in politics, and yes, there are some real slime balls, in it for themselves, for the status and the pension... but equally there are some really good people (although I hate to say this) from all the parties who never forget they work for their constituents. If only there were all that way, my job would be a lot easier and the country would be better off.
