I came across a farewell article by Chris Mullin in the Times. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article7090921.ece
One sentence particularly stood out:
It is a great privilege (and one that is sometimes taken for granted) to have been born in a democracy and to serve in a political system where, although harsh things are sometimes said, we are not actually trying to kill each other. Where differences are ultimately resolved at the ballot box. Where one side wins, one side loses and the loser lives to fight another day.
If you want to hear from a fine, honourable politician [however old fashioned that sounds, it's true], read his diaries 'A view from the Foothills'.
