No, no, no, Magik, you have it all wrong. Politics is NOT a professional job. Politics is a matter that concerns all citizens of a country. 'Polis' in ancient greek means 'city' - politics is literally the 'business of the city'. And 'democracy' comes from two greek words, 'cratos' meaning 'power' and 'demos' meaning 'people'. In a democracy, literally 'power to the people', every citizen, you, me and Rolla, has exactly the same right to put his/her nose into political stuff ! Many of our ancestors fought and died for us to have that right ...
