WYSIWYG, it's the done thing in the UK for people that decide to enter the world of politics (which essentially involves wanting to tell other people what they can and cannot do), to be able to support their political views when questioned and challenged. George well knows this.

Whats more George is a big grown up lady, I'm sure she can make up her own mind whether or not she feels she is inclined to answer to robust questioning, without being patronised. It might be challenging for her to defend her political views, because she will receive some strongly supported arguments off of the many serious minded and extremely intelligent posters here. But, I for one would like to hear some of what she might have to say. Plus, I'm sure she's not so foolish as not to realise that she'll get much more 'robust' questioning than that found on a folk forum, if she proceeds much further in her political career. She's going to have to develop a very thick skin.

I might dislike the politics she stands for, and I do very much, but at least I recognise that she's an adult woman capable of quite strong self-determined action - as indeed her choices have already demonstrated. Your condescending Mumsy comments however, make her look as though she's a dribbling infant in need of burping!
