Honesty in politics

11-05-10, 03:22 PM

Yeah I know its a joke, but does anyone have any views on the overturning of the English election result in Oldham where the winning candidate was found to have knowingly misled the voters by telling what he knew to be lies about his opponent.
I do like the terms they used about having to make white people angry.

In politics lies and half truths are status quo. Political adds are loaded with lies. There is no rules regulating it. Politicians win all the time by using advertising in the negative. Nothing is done. I suspect the loser in Oldham should have lied a lot better and more often.

I'll put it this way.

I have never been robbed by a prostitute, but I have paid taxes in Ireland

It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.
