Regular readers of this page will have gathered by now that my idealism regarding politics has long passed. My analysis of what is going on frequently highlights the self-interested and cut-throat tactics that characterize day-to-day political life. While I fully believe that the vast majority of those who involve themselves in politics do so for noble reasons, the system pushes them towards behaviour that few of them are all that proud of, but feel is an inevitable part of the job.
Those who are not near the game are sometimes surprised at the personal relationships and cooperative spirit that does develop between MPs of different political stripes, even as the public sniping continues. A blog posting by Liberal MP Glen Pearson from earlier this week captures some of this. Click the link and take a read -- it helps humanize our politicians and show another side from the regular newsclips.
