A good politician

They are a rare species, but they do exist. Johan Norberg writes:
He left parliament voluntarily because he didn’t want to become a professional politician, and I just noticed that he doesn’t want to live on the taxpayers´ expense now that he has left. So perhaps this is the time to confess: For a long time I have thought that Gustav Fridolin - despite his green, anti-growth views - seems like one of Sweden’s most decent, interesting and intellectually honest politicians.
I agree. Gustav Fridolin might be green and I don’t agree with many of his ideas, but I do like a person who is true to his ideals.
