@WoF - My point exactly, and that's a good idea. A lot of politicians don't have to live their lives under the effects of their decisions. They probably wouldn't act so much like shitheads and would instead think very carefully if they did.
For example you had the whole scandal the other month with Ian Duncan Smith claiming that he could live off his proposed weekly benefits cap (£53 a week) while he was screwing about with the welfare system - But he didn't back up his claims and actually go out there and live how the benefit claimants would do, while also cutting off his job security and accumulated funds. More realistically he should have at least carefully studied how those people would live under his proposals, which of course he didn't and instead just looked at his calculations on a bit of paper.
