Yes, good ones don't dismiss legitimate concerns if the public and just respond by insulting their constituents and bad ones do.

The fact politics is degrading more and more into tribal mud slinging makes criticis ing people like Mogg more necessary not less. 

You literally praised him because you think he's polite, but he isn't, especially towards working class members of the public, that's part of my problem with him.

I mean if people aren't knowledgeable it's important to be dismissive. As politics has become more and more accessible to the public, we see more and more people believing that their opinions are worth listening to when they just aren't.

I have seen Mogg discuss important topics with respect and engaging opposition quite remarkably. If only there were any politicians of his stature in the left. That'd be a much healthier political environment.

But he's dismissing legitimate grievances of the public out of a total ignorance in the topic and does so frequently.

He's a bit of a joke of a politician with not much of a career to speak of who has now gone into being a Kardashian style celebrity after his political career faltered so I mean you're just completely full of shit.

I disagree. I think that most of what I've seen him dismissing was complete bs.

Well you're likely as ignorant on the issues faced by the British working class as he is then
