I’ve thought for a long time that it takes a special kind of person to become a politician. They have to wear that confident smile for a year straight, have to compromise their integrity to get backers. Then when they get elected they lose control of their schedules, attend long boring meetings for a living, sit across the desk from campaign contributors and hear them whine. Wearing suits, dress up events – not so much my thing.

I’d probably be more okay than many people with speaking in public. But I’d hate the need to marshal chits for the inevitable next election.

What facets of a politicians life would you enjoy and which would you hate the most?
