well, im working on 3, as i was shy at school, but i think ive improved on that since then though.

4 might be a problem, lol, im disgustingly honest and nice to other people (so im told)

education may not matter, but i want to learn much more about politics, both about issues i am familiar with and issues i know little or nothing about at the moment.


3. Can u stand in front of 300 people and sell your controversial idea and also lie a lil bit at the same time? lol

4. If you're too honest I think u risk getting frustrated in politics. It's a quite dirty business I've heard, even on the grass root level. Although we need honest people in politics of course.


3. hmm, i honestly dont know, i would certainly give it a shot, i dont know that i would need to lie though, lol

4. thats kinda part of the reason i want to go into politics, i think that politicians should be more honest, i would hope that if i can find a way to be an honest politician, that others would follow my own example.


U should hurry then. At least here in Sweden the culture is that you have to be active since youth (in those youth departments of political parties, people below ~25 years), that's a huge merit. Most politicians here are career politicians. I mean not just most, but such a huge majority (>90%) that it almost feels wrong if you consider stuff like life experience, experience outside politics and stuff as important qualities in a politician.

im 20, but i dont think there is a set age by which you must be in a party by here, i think career politicians are a good thing, surely representing your constituents and knowing the in's and out's of both the system and the majour issue's is vital to being a politician? you can't pick that sort of thing up when your 56 and used to work for some bussiness, imo anyway.

please define Life Experience, i would have thought, you get that no mattter what you do, career politician or not, ive had life experiences, and im only 20.

Usually politicians get criticized for not having contact with reality, not being in touch with ordinary people and their struggles.

But it's mostly socialist workers who bring up that argument lol.
