Humans. Sure, they're funny, caring, etc. Some are even quite pleasant to live with BUT they sure can be stubborn sometimes, hey?

It's fair to say that our politics is a little fractured at the moment. Everything is black or white. Yes or no. In or out. Leave or remain. There's a certain type of politician that seems to promise the world even though we know what they are saying cannot be delivered… so why do we allow them past the starting gate?
