Quite the opposite. They love voting so much that they give you another go straight away if you get the wrong answer.

Well, they are politicians. The job of a politician is to lie (or present the truth in a manner they think wil go down better) to the the public.

For some reason though, a lot of people still have some faith in them, that is what i find strange!

They are all self serving liars, to the last man/woman.

I am sure some of them have good intentions, but those few don't stand a chance of getting anywhere
