He holds that empathy is the biggest value in politics – ‘why does someone go to a politician for help? It’s not because they’re lazy or because they don’t want to improve their life. It’s probably because they truly need the help.’

Elsewhere during the interview, Luke reflected on whether he would enter politics, saying that he would leave it until he is around 50 years old and after having worked so as not to rely on politics to make money.

He also acknowledged that politicians need to be paid more so that they aren’t forced to think of how to make money through illicit means.
