I have met many politicians through my working life.
As noted above on a personal level they are all generally very pleasant, make a show of listening, and some are quite charming.
On a business level they follow instructions, have no shame, and are utterly predictable.
They are in effect, personality disorders epitimoised.
The only one I knew who I wouldn't tar with that brush was Tam Dalyell (he at least didn't follow instructions).
