One thing that has struck me recently is how passionate politics can be. With so many bland career politicians (dis)gracing the stage these days it's so pleasing and refreshing to see someone with actual principles and someone who's willing to defend them under the closest of scrutiny.
It's a strange time to be around these days (politically) and certainly a time that's going to see a lot of change, whether good or bad I don't know but it'll be interesting to see.
