The mercurial and pragmatic nature of politics and politicians

For me, politics is a separate dimension to the world I live in. I have to vote; I do vote. But who I vote for; that is all in the hands of God Our Father.  Promises mean nothing now in politics. Pragmatism, functionalism, 'what works', what gets me in power, what gets through enough votes in the House of Commons; all these things are what government in the 5 years in power. The common good, principles, morals and unity no longer prevail.

But in Christ I know He will steer His flock, what ever storms the World puts before us.
