I don ' t get it <| sep |> Definitely buying this tomorrow , is it in DVD form , or digital download ? Also any links to where it will be available ? <| sep |> This is never what I took the term ' career politician ' to mean though your definition is becoming increasingly popular since it allows people like Corbyn to be painted as one . To me a ' career politician ' is a politician who sees it as a career . That is to say , he ' s doing it as a job and acts based on what ' s best for his job prospects within his party . A noncareer politician is one who does their best to represent their beliefs and principles even when they run in contradiction to what ' s best for their career . They ' re the type of politician that created the stereotype of saying anything to get elected , breaking every promise once in office , and voting through anything their leaders asked them to . Thus , to go back to the earlier example , Corbyn isn ' t a ' career politician ' despite having the job for decades . He never treated it like a career and thus spent his life in relative obscurity until recently .
