I wonder if they're taught it once they enter politics, or if it's something ingrained from school.

It's not particularly sophisticated stuff is it? Literally the same stuff that you come out with when you're collared by the headmaster over something you were involved in.

This is not the first generation of politicians from that particular school but it does seem to be the first one that has zero compunction about lying / obfuscating. It has made me realise how weak our political institutions are and how much a government can act by fiat if they choose. Scary stuff.

I sometimes wonder if the politics / history / economics teachers at that school appreciate how significant a role in the country's recent direction they played, and how they feel about it.
