I’ve just watched Hilary Clinton concede. But this is not specifically about her. To get that far in politics politicians must really want the job. With a burning passion. I think that is no more apparent when you see a politician spouting platitudes and clichés in order to win votes. Because, working with the assumption that most politicians are good people, with noble intentions, and intelligent, they must know how predictable and boring much of what they have to say is; the soundbites, staged impromptu style visits on demographically correct representations of voters, day after day. Promising to listen, to restore some aspect of a mythological past, or the promise of change. Thing is, they may very well mean it, and if they’re tolerating the bollocks machine to get elected, I don’t envy them in the slightest. That’s a hard world. Man.
