>>13330156Most politicians are lawyers and know the laws very well. You do not have to be a lawyer, but you will need to be able to contend with lawyers. How you get that knowledge and confidence is up to you.
I am getting into politics in America and am not a lawyer, but I do hold several degrees, one of which is Political Science where I studied constitutional law quite a bit (I intentionally took these classes), so I feel confident I can go toe to toe with any scumbag in a suit.
