i would do it with entusiasm , im sure i can represent my interest way better than any "professional politician". and it would be a great way to learn new things.

im sure in the us its not so diferent. i dont think the trillions of the bailouts can be approved by a election, (well, with a all mighty media lobbyng for it it can be possible)
