This changes a list of examples (as introduced by "such as").

As a result, instead of the document clearly stating that it is unacceptable to discriminate against people for a "political view", it is left to the judgement of people. In practice, that means the question can only be determined for a given case (which can be real, hypothetical, or some described class of situations sharing common attributes).

"Political view" is not defined in the document. There are specific areas which could be the subject of political views that are already protected - such as those listed in the definition.

I believe it is feasible to argue that almost any belief is a "political view" - so the protection could otherwise be held to cover things that ombudspeople will adjudge unacceptable.

For that reason, I support the change proposed.
