Why We Hate Politicians

Politicians of all shades endlessly opine about how they are maligned. A few reasons why:

1. Because they promise things before an election with little intention of actually doing them after an election. We proles call that lying.

2. Because on any story, rather than looking for a practical solution, they look for a political one where they can big up their party and diss the other side. We proles call that lying.

3. Because they hide facts that are inconvenient for them. We proles call that lying.

4. Because they tell us that we all have to do x not y (usually at great personal cost to ourselves) but they then do y themselves and try and hide it from us. We proles call that lying.

5. Because they endlessly try to hide the cost of what we taxpayers have to pay for them. We proles call that lying.
