Why don't people of his calibre go into politics?

Folk do what they want to do. To be honest I don't know why anybody would want to go into politics these days, given the abuse and accusations they are subject to.

Was very sorry to hear of his passing earlier, and sorry too for all the years of suffering and worry which preceded this (since 2014). He always struck me as a very decent guy.

Condolences to his friends and family. May he rest in peace.

You enter politics to enrich yourself and sod the rest
