    Wouldn’t that imply that every possible policy is bad? I don’t really think that makes sense.

    Politicians come in every ideological flavour.

      These days, most actual policy is self serving at best, and utterly stupid at worst. The logical result of creating a political caste that has little to no contact to normal people living normal lives.

        The logical result of creating a political caste that has little to no contact to normal people living normal lives.

        The separation between ordinary or even poor people and politicians is actually paper thin. I know, I cross it regularly. The main barrier is just showing up for whatever boring political thing.

        Less boring political events are full of people who love to criticise but clearly have never bothered with the details themselves, so I admit I’m finding this exchange this a little sus.
