Not like he gains much from it (politically speaking) so it goes to show that he believes what he says, he means it and it does not matter whether it is unpopular or not.
Would you rather that he ignore his views and pretend to hide them?
So? Those of us who have faith in our life do not use it for the purpose of making an objective point. We believe what we believe and irregardless of how it may or may not be ridiculed, we believe it none the less.
Again, he won't care - comes back to this EU stuff. When we get up to the gates you think that Saint Peter is really going to care what we did about the bill to leave and referendum?
JRM will not care one hoot if his political career is toast. He is a rich man who is only involved in politics for other people...he isn't doing this for himself

His religious principles, unless he wants to move us to a theocratic state, would be subordinate to his duty to represent the UK population as a whole. For example, as a Catholic, he would be against contraception. Should he propose a bill to ban contraception? No of course not.
You say he is a "rich man who is only involved in politics for other people...he isn't doing this for himself" Total rubbish. I know of no politician now and few in the past that are not in politics, at some level, for themselves whether that be vanity, power, wealth, etc.
To deploy the Chocolate Teapot, I doubt JRM would find himself at the Pearly Gates:

Maybe they could use the sessions vacated by the Brextremists? I mean after 40+ years of moaning, you would have thought that they would be more well adjusted by now.
