"Now and then an innocent man is sent to the legislature"

- Kin Hubbard

About this Quote

This quote by Kin Hubbard is a funny observation about the nature of politics. It recommends that, in spite of the very best efforts of the electorate, sometimes an individual who is not certified or experienced in politics is elected to a legislative body. This could be due to a range of factors, such as an absence of knowledge about the prospect, a lack of interest in the election, or a lack of competition in the race. The quote indicates that, while these people might not be the most qualified, they are still innocent and might even be well-intentioned. It is a pointer that, while politics can be a complex and often discouraging process, it is still crucial to take part in the democratic procedure and to ensure that the best candidates are elected.
