One of the reasons why people are fed up with politicians

[abaris]

Our former and less than successful chancellor Werner Faymann obviously is a made man by now. Not only did he get an advisory job at the UN but now also a lobbying position for a major insurance company. Job description, lobbying to liberalise insurance laws at Brussels. To the detrimentary of the general population, as I'm sure.

Guy doesn't have any degree and was a party soldier for the Social Democrats for his whole working life. I can't find any international link for this, but I'm posting the German source anyway.

He's not the first one taking the fast track. Another one, a former (conservative) minister of the interior, just got released after doing time for being too openly corrupt and tumbling into the trap of some british journalist.

I understand people being fed up with all these people only being out to line their own pockets. I'm too. What I don't understand is them falling for the political snake oil vendors. Who, at least in the case of my country, already have proven that they're taking corruption to a new level if they make it into the government. The years between 2000 and 2006 when they were in a coalition with the Conservatives are still keeping the courts busy to this very day.

The way you are talking about conservatives or for that matter, Labour, I get the impression that you live in England. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. As for the post itself, I couldn't agree more. Show me a straight politician who learned how to tell the truth from the great universities around the world, and I'll eat a wax apple.

In fact, truth be known, we now know that the old labour party in England is more central in its opinions, and the conservative is just conservative. Many people do not want to be stigmatised as "working class", anymore and prefer to associate themselves with the Middle class.

Why don't you look at the link and the name and you probably get an impression where I'm living.

Thank you Bella, and to think I requested a ban from Panda yesterday. It seems that I can actually have a decent conversation without being a nasty f*ck all the time.

Thanks to you too...
