Zac Goldsmith doesn’t believe a word most politicians say.

In an interview with the Guardian he claims that “he doesnt want to just become a political automaton” like every other politician. 

“Well I don’t think anybody does, If you were to ask 100 people on the street, most would say they don’t,” says Goldsmith.

“His late father Sir James’ great contribution to political life was, in his son’s words, to give the Tories “a bit of a spank” and “rough them up,” reports the Guardian.

“Well I was just sick of seeing clone MPs simply parroting out the party line. There’s more of an appetite for people to stand up what they believe in,” and insists he comes to politics with “the same cynicism and scepticism as everyone else”.

He talks about his love for the environment, something that is sure to win him a few fans.

“We all have political muscle, and that’s something we can all do, and must do. Effective green policy will result in those elite green choices becoming available to all of us, and that’s the key.”
