I think pollies are very misunderstood. Take this one - that they ‘lie’. It’s been clearly shown that we all lie, all of the time, about just about everything. They are us. But on top of that, the job of a politician is to find compromises between groups of people who don’t agree. A political statement is a statement of compromise. But we’re often so pure and righteous in our views, that compromises sound like lies.
