I don't think that all politicians are ****, just like I don't think all claimants are scroungers, or that all teenagers are chavs, or that all unemployed are lazy, or all Tories are Eton-educated Hooray Henries, or all Labour voters live in terraced houses, have flat caps, and keep whippets - some may, but that doesn't mean all fit those lazy stereotypes.
We shouldn't let those outliers lead us to think that some = all....

Strong on facts when it suits you, part of the reason for UKIP's rise is the total disillusionment of a large portion of the population to politicians and their ways, they tut at the pathetically low voter turnout almost without realising they are the reason for turning people of and for the record I never said all, just most.

I don't think they're evil and I doubt anyone sane does, I just think in a lot of.cases the only people they're serving is themselves and to be honest I'm sick of it and I'm sure I speak for a lot of people that feel the same.
