I’m making the bold assumption, that most people here are not running, in either local body or national elections.
Everyone loves the complain about what “public servants” do. So why not step up and do something about it?
No accusation intended or implied. Just curious.
Being PM would be hell, but IMO the lower down MP’s don’t get anywhere as much attention.
I agree, that if you have a high profile portfolio, then only having 50% hate you is good going.
Something also worth pointing out, MPs work some bizarre hours, see the house sitting hours below.
