you can't expect people to work without protection, or even hope that they'll enter politics at all - especially when one of the other terms of the job is really low pay (talking about councillors here).

Part of the reason I quit after seven years as a Highland councillor was the stalking and violent threats I was subject to.

The police were great, but all they can do is wait for a crime to be committed.
