What I look for in a politician is whether they are a hypocrite.
With old an old school Tory or really old school Labour you pretty much knew where you stood but when someone hates with every fibre of their soul something like the House of Lords you pretty much wonder what else they do to keep on the gravy train. Neil Kinnock and John Prescott are hypocrites of the first degree. The politician I most admire would be Tony Benn (you didn't see that coming) as he gave up his Lordship to become a member of parliament. Still as mad as a box of frogs but admirable all the same
A quote from a newspaper
In a series of newspaper articles and speeches in 1977 and 1978, he described its members as 'a bunch of unelected busybodies' and the descendants of 'brigands, muggers, bribers, and gangsters'.
A person in power only has their integrity for others to judge them by, without that they truly are a Brigand, mugger,briber or a gangster
