It is obvious, I think, that only people who are vegan should hold a
public office. Anyone else has not yet been able to get past their own
appetites, as the main factor in their decision making. However
considered or knowledgeable they are in one or other field is small in
comparison to the areas in which they are still refusing to be mindful;
such as their health, public health, their conscience, wider peace,
their resources use and the fate of nature and the environment.
To
put anyone else, who does not have the self discipline to live
harmlessly and recognize what is important in other people's lives, is
like putting a cleptomaniac in charge of public money and governance -
they just can't help themselves - they will misuse it for primarily
selfish ends. Kerry MCarthy is vegan and is the Shadow Environment, Food
and Environmental Affairs minister in the UK. Clifton Roberts
is the leader of the Humane Party in the US. Do we have any vegan
politicians in Ireland? I think we might but they are keeping it quiet
unless they are thought radical! Funny isn't it that it is out of order
to be radically decent and consistent in your awareness and treatment of
others. I'd have thought it could be encouraged. Call me old fashioned!
I have some feedback on this that I will cut and paste shortly!!
