This is the important time for power. Exercising power in the background, when nobody realises it's happening, is useful. But when your power base is threatened, when you are wide open and people feel you could go under. That's when you can exhibit that power. When you step forward and pronounce that black is white, and all the press and the politicians nod in agreement. This entrenches their power. Nobody called them out.
