Most people in this country view our politicians in much the way you do yours bruce. That's because most of what we see of politicians are a) the high flying media darlings, or heavy hitters on the national scene, or b) politicians on the campaign trail where it's their job to court publicity and support.

a) is a minority, b) is most/all politicians for a portion of their time.

What might make yours seem more about the limelight, could be that more stuff is on an elected basis over there. Many of the high ranking public service roles for which you hold an election, we do not.
