"I object to politicians entering politics without ever having worked a real job."

In the UK that used to be the case up to around 1985 - then the people who had jobs in Law or The City (Tories) or the Trade Unions or factories (Labour) were hounded out by people and the press complaining about "2 -jobs MP's", "Part timers taking our cash", "Unprofessional amateurs" etc etc and by the early 90's the route to government was with a Politics degree, time spent in a think tank, gophering for a Minister etc etc

So be careful what you wish for....................
