Though I disagree with much of the socialist agenda, Roy Hattersleys decades of public service and political leadership deserve respect. His pragmatic approach to governance, even within Labours ranks, showed dedication to his constituents and the democratic process. RIP. #Libertarian #Politics #Respect #PublicService
