she’s a minister not a civil servant.
Hmm… somewhat weakens my initial argument then. While she was appointed to her current role, which is what I based my argument upon, she has stood for election as an MP prior to that. If your electoral platform is in contrast to what benefits you in your private life I would say there could be an element of hypocrisy.
That being said, acting contrary to your personal opinion and immediate monetary benefit because the electorate says tells you to is still a fine tradition, so I would give her kudos for that in any case.
