Shit yeah. I've noticed this in Australian politics, and it may not really be there, but it does feel as if the standard the politicians are setting is a standard being followed by the... more easily-led (ie. the majority), in not taking responsibility for, literally any mistake ever in their lives. When the public-at-large start behaving and speaking like politicians about their past actions, the truth and accountability required to progress society will take longer to establish than we've got until the heat death of the universe.
