Your government is only as strong or weak as the people who govern it. This sentiment goes as far back as Socrates. It's inconsequential if they be, these days, liberal or conservative. What's relevant is whether they are people of character and strong inner-morals.
I know this may surprise you, but I do consider the act of commiting to public service to be noble - minus the corrupt fools of course.
Here's another secret. In principle, it's hard to argue too much against socialist ideas and ideals when pondering political and social constructs. Unfortunately for socialist thought, its application has yet to be properly utilized. Socialism without coercion. That should be the aim.
Until then, I'm not interested in the big government NDP-type of "progressive" socialism.
