I can see that. On the other hand, politicians standing side-by-side the general population is something I would like to see more of. Eventually it could lead to higher expectations from our leaders. But of course, you'd have to endure the initial wave of PR stunt appearances for awhile.

In my country, strikes are almost universally smeared as the worst evil anyone could possibly do. I would LOVE for a political leader to reinforce the validity of striking like this.
