Im way more qualified to be a politician than I think

What would make you think you are not qualified? It's just a "message boy" position. It is intended to free people doing important things from having to travel to Ottawa, as would be necessary under a direct democracy, instead allowing democracy to happen locally where it is convenient for important people, with only collation of the local democratic action needing to happen in Ottawa.

There is good reason why they are literally called servants. It is a bottom of the barrel job. If you are qualified to do anything else in life, it would be a waste and a drain on society to become the message boy, but someone does have to do it. If you think that's you, go nuts! You'll do just fine.

Do you think its a good idea for a politician to praise a former Waffen-SS member as a hero

To answer that question would require considering the motives of people, and that's a complete fools errand. It is impossible to know what they are thinking, and even if you somehow magically figure it out, what are you going to gain from it? It doesn't matter.

do you think it will go over will with his colleges and voters?

No. Clearly not. As we discussed earlier, the population lacks common sense. But as the previous discussion was about common sense, a hypothetical world where common sense was present would see no reason for it to not go over well. There is no logical reason for anything that transpired from what you claim was nothing more than a mistake.
