Politicians are not hypocrites

Charles Saatchi has no moral compass:

Ever since our agency created "Labour isn't working" people occasionally enquire how deeply held are my Tory beliefs. I also, once, threw myself into the Health Department Anti-Smoking campaign, visited emphysema wards, studied pictures of cancerous lungs, and came up with the grisliest copy I could — puffing away happily as I wrote. How sweet of people to think that advertising copy is written from the heart.

The great ally of dozy, third-rate oppositions-in-waiting is the ennui of a jaded public who think "It's Time For A Change". In essence, politicians are like nappies. They need to be changed often, and pretty much for the same reasons. Nearly all political leaders don't seem to have adequate answers, until they write their memoirs.

The Left think they are where the righteous should be. The Right try so hard to scramble left, the damp middle ground has become an overcrowded swamp. Together when they see light at the end of the tunnel, they spend as much as possible to build some more tunnel. Our problem is, we all grew up to hear that anyone could become President or Prime Minister; and now we believe it.

No one comes closer to capturing the workings of government than Claud Schuster, who after taking office in 1915 served 10 different Chancellors during his 29 years as Britain's senior civil servant. His description of the relationship between the Prime Minister and the Cabinet was graphic: "Like the procreation of eels, it is slippery and mysterious."

As someone with a particularly small moral compass, demonstrated by the speed with which I dropped the Health Department anti-smoking campaign the moment we were offered the Benson & Hedges/Silk Cut cigarettes account, I would have made an outstanding Member of Parliament. With a limited skill base, minimal intelligence, and very little numeracy, I obviously stood an excellent chance of achieving high office and acclaim in politics. Or perhaps a senior post in the diplomatic service? Diplomacy is simple stuff; it's the art of letting someone have your way. And remembering to say "Good Doggy" while looking for a bigger stick.
