[Underscore]

I've always thought about this being so engaged in politics.

I grew/am growing up in a very conservatively minded household (on fiscal/money issues) and this has taught me that if you do a job, you do it to the very best of your ability. However, from growing up and education I've learnt the value of human kindness and empathy.

It's led me to advocate the idea that as long as you put the hard work in, you should be able to get any help you need to make the difference and get you a good lifestyle. It's why I resent the 'take take take' attitude of some of the citizens in this country.

I believe yes, there should be a welfare state, but no it shouldn't be a free pick and mix.

It's why not a socialist/conservative and more a liberal.
