[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7792828, member: 818"] Not actually a politician, more a political campaigner, but Peter Tatchell has shown that his principles extend beyond just being a campaigner for gay rights - he showed some real physical courage when he twice tried to perform a citizens arrest on Mugabe for his human rights abuses, once in London and again in Brussels. He has also not been afraid to call out Islamic leaders on their homophobic attitudes (again which takes some stones these days), and has also stood up for free speech rights, even for people he fundamentally disagrees with. There's lots (maybe most) of his politics I disagree with, but he has principles, and sticks to them even when they potentially work against his political aims, or result in him holding public opinions that many avoid for fear of being seen to be politically incorrect - he isn't just a one eyed political hypocrite as so many are today, who are prepared to argue on either side of a principle at different times when it suits their aims.
