“I believe politicians should aim to be accurate and truthful in what they say at all times. You can be truthful and inaccurate but what you shouldn't be doing at any time is saying things that are untrue or making commitments that you have no intention of honouring.” ShouldBelieveI BelievePoliticianCommitmentAimIntentionAll TimeTruthfulAccurateUntrueBeing Truthful Author:Malcolm Turnbull
“The art of politics, under democracy, is simply the art of ringing it. Two branches reveal themselves. There is the art of the demagogue, and there is the art of what may be called, by a shot-gun marriage of Latin and Greek, the demaslave. They are complementary, and both of them are degrading to their practitioners. The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots. The demaslave is one who listens to what these idiots have to say and then pretends that he believes it himself.” KnowsMenBelieveMayArtTwoDemocracyGunShotsDoctrineIdiotGreekBranchesLatinUntrueDegradingComplementaryLatin And Greek Author:H.
