Not assessed for accuracy.
“We may view our political class as rotten and bad at any given time.”
The claim is an evaluative characterization of the political class as ‘rotten and bad,’ rather than a testable statement about events or causation. In context, it functions as a value judgment the speaker is offering, so it should be stored as evaluative judgement.
Reasoning & Evidence

From article
I haven’t given up a successful career, I haven’t given up all my free time, I haven’t given up all my hobbies just because I want to be a politician. I’m in this out of conviction
The problem with that line of thinking is that, however rotten and bad we may view our political class at any given time, as long as we have a parliamentary democracy we have the power to change it, because we have the power to sack everybody and bring in new people with fresh political ideas. What you cannot do in this European system is change anything, because it’s the civil servants – the Commission – that have the power.
