Why do normal people not become politicians....is it a genetic abnormality that predisposes muppets to become MLAs, MPs and MEPs????? or in Iris and Peter's cases all three together!!!!

I agree, not one politician I have ever met, seems welcoming and forthcoming. Infact, even the political assistants I have had the displeasure of dealing with have all the inherent traits of 30 years of 'war' inbred into them.
I'd like a party (not the alliance) that actually wants to make a difference to the community, not hold it back because it doesnt want to agree with the other side!

You can't beat Billy Connolly on this one- "the very desire to run for office should bar you for life from ever running".I'm staying out of the Norn Iron/Northern Ireland/NI question though, on account of being a Scottish immigrant!!
