I was not casting aspersions against your son..far from it.
This is just my observation of how other people have behaved.......starting off very committed to the people in their locality...but once risen to the dizzying heights of politics...forgetting that they want to help people...and instead making sure their own bread is well buttered.

As for being cynical...I prefer to term it 'the experience of life'

You would be a very strange mother if you were not proud of your son. i hope he does well...and makes a difference to the lives of the people in his community.
