How many politicians, PM or otherwise have actually WORKED for a living? Not counting the self-righteous twits who think that poncing around in the halls of power is actually WORKING.

Love hearing from these w@nkers about how they 'understand' the 'man on the street' or 'the man on the land' or - gods help us - the 'battlers'.

School, Uni for a law major and a polisci minor, straight into a political internship or a union 'secretary' gig, line up pre-selection with the party most likely to let em in, for a seat least likely to be strongly contested, score a mindless do-nothing backbench spot for a couple of useless terms then if really clever a front-bench minister of sod-all; retire at 35 or so with snout firmly wedged in the public trough.
