  Yes. Please cut the cynicism. There are quite a few that went into politics because of self-interest, but certainly not all of them. And they are human, too. They have their flaws. And if their ideological and pragmatical stances don't overlap with yours, that doesn't mean they're unethical or evil. Be glad there are at least some who try.

    It might look like cynicism but it was not my intention. The statement about politicians is testable. No faith, specific political views are required, just facts: who voted for what and how it correlates with actual voters--actually, somebody did something along the lines and the conclusions were that politicians do not represent their constituents, at best they represent the very very rich part (it hit a nerve, I saw clumsy attempts to discredit the study in the google results).
