Faaaark!

I find it frustrating when people moan about there being no candidates
who represent their beliefs and yet, when it comes down to it, they've
not prepared to stand for their own beliefs either.

 

Ben scribbled:

There's standing up for your own beliefs.

There's standing up for your own beliefs, standing up for everyone else
who happens to believe the same things, running the
parish/county/country guided by those beliefs and trying to persuade
others that those beliefs are the only valid ones (or make more sense
than any others)

The two are a mile apart IMO.

 

Having worked with someone involved in politics, I know there's simply
no way I could make the sacrifices - family, social, financial - that
he has. It really does take a particular sort of person.
