A state parlament candidate for the liberterian party was recently found to be a member of a online BDSM community together with his wife. The biggest tabloid in the country printed a story on it, with the details on what could be read on his profile.





When he was confronted with this he simply replied that this is private buisness and that he would delete the account.
To my suprise most of the reactions from the public were not such of condemnation but of aproval of the mans possition and his right to privacy.
I agree that he has a right to privacy concerning his sexuality and am happy to live in a society in which cheap shot at his image through those revelations by tabloids are disregarded and seen through as rubbish by the majority of the population.

I bet something like this would have ruined an Amercian or UK representatives political career.

Well, I wonder why the public didn't act in this manner when confronted with Clinton and his sex scandal, or Berlusconi, they too had a right to privacy.
However in my opinion, a politician must always be at the peak of moral standards, this includes sexual morality. I personally think this would not fly too well with contemporary society, and of course the traditions and culture of the people that he represents. Else all politicians would simply allow themselves to be womanizers and man-hunters as they wished, or pursue whatever kinks and other manner of filthy that today's world presents us with, and claim its their personal life. Well, if you are a man that claims to represent a group of people, you must act accordingly.
