I agree politics is almost completely about personalities and bullshit. I actually got quite involved in the last British election, and I could see several candidates for the lying sacks of shit they were. Brushing up on logical fallacies helps me see through people in a snap when they are not shooting straight.
Practical politics is bad enough, but real politicians have to actually get elected, and businesses have to turn a profit. Political and economic theory has orders of magnitude more bullshit.
