I'm shocked that people don't apply the basic principles of human nature. The rules are ridiculous. Some people will see that. Politicians are implementing policy because that's what they need to be seen to be doing, not because they honestly believe it should apply universally. Ergo some politicians will be found in a state of hypocrisy.
The man responsible for much of the policy in the west, a UK advisor l, was caught breaching the rules to have sex with a married woman.
- randlet 6y agoPlease note I did not include a judgement on whether the rules are justified or not. Whether or not they are justified, if an elected official enacts a rule they expect others to follow, you can be damn sure I expect them to have the integrity to follow it themselves.
- easytiger 6y ago> if an elected official enacts a rule they expect others to follow, you can be damn sure I expect them to have the integrity to follow it themselves. That isn't a rational position. Someone's office (in modern terms more a "job" than historically was the case) is irrelevant to their behaviour, as with any and all people.
