Without discussing political party, why are people so afraid of a politician's religion?

Yes - but it's very unlikely. With the minor parties, the leader usually doesn't hold a seast in parliament. With the majors, the candidates are usually nominated from within the ranks of seated members.

And in order to sit in Parliament as leader, you have to earn a seat somewhere - parliamentary discussions are confidential and unless you have a seat in parliament, you can be excluded from a great deal of what goes on - not a good situation for a leader.!

Yes, it is possible, and is often done. Despite what the person above says, it is NOT necessary for the head of the party to run for election, although they usually do. Sometimes another member will step aside to open up a seat, or sometimes the leader will wait until some other seat becomes available for a byelection.

Typically, the other parties will allow a new leader to run by allowing him to run unopposed, but this is courtesy, not official policy.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
