Very interesting read as always. I have grown to dislike the typical pub comment of "all politicians are equal, they are all in it to steal": no, not all politicians are equal. Some rob you blind while others may slightly favour their friends that one time. Some will try to abolish democracy while others set up their private email server. Looking for perfection (perfect track record in all respects) will make you become disenfranchised and ignore the worst excesses; voting for the less corrupt party will send a message to the most corrupt.

I fully agree!
