What annoys me more than anything else is the fact that they can't answer questions. The amount of times you see an interview with a politician when they are asked a question with a yes/no answer and they just go off on a tangent and start talking about something else to promote their policy. It makes me want to THROW things at the TV. I'd be far more likely to vote for someone who answers the questions they are actually asked. Even if I don't always agree with the answers they give, I'd be much more likely to trust them.
This.
I was listening to BBC Sussex the other night and they had a bit on PMQ's. Caroline Lucas raised a point about how the Brighton-London commuter trains were always late/cancelled etc. and rather than answer the point raised that smug little weasel just hit back with a snipe about the rubbish collection.
I would respect politicians a heck of a lot more if they were able to, just once, rise above the petty, point-scoring, screaming kids in a classroom mentality they all seem to have.
