I was curious about why they ask this question / what they're trying to learn about you. So far, I've been honest and said something along the lines of "Every once in a while I have the urge to interview a politician and ask them 'is this really what you believe, or is this a political game for you?' However, if it's the latter, I don't think I would hear the truth anyway."
Cynical, but that's who I am. How have other people here handled this question?
