Having personal beliefs isnt the same as inflicting them on the rest of society. JRM has said that, personal beliefs are just that, personal. It's quite nice to see someone with the courage of thie convictions, to stand up for what they believe in rather than faffing round like that Lib-Dem bloke who simply wouldn't spit out his Christian views in case he offended the electorate. At least with JRM you know what you're getting.
Quotes:
Mr Rees-Mogg said women's abortion rights under UK law were "not going to change".
Mr Rees-Mogg however said he does not judge what other people do and said: "he who is without sin should cast the first stone"
And I think this paragraph from the Independent is a good summary - bottom line is, he is trustworthy - you know he doesnt lie. A rare quality with politicians
Yes, it is hilarious to read that Rees-Mogg slept in a single bed under a crucifix in white pyjamas every night until he got married – but there are other things that come with the territory. And no, he isn’t a snake in the grass – he hasn’t come to prominence with promises of the type of “compassionate”, “hug-a-hoodie” conservatism David Cameron espoused. He’ll never tell you to “call me Jake”. He won’t pretend to have any working class credentials, or hide the fact that he is a deeply traditional Catholic with reactionary ideas. He is straight-up telling us all what he thinks, and he always has done: indeed, it’s that honesty and authenticity which has apparently resonated with so many grassroots members of his party, at a time when trust in politicians is at an all-time low.
