They’re gonna have to start building more prisons.
Is a broken promise a lie?
That’s gonna take serious consideration and time. It would seem cheaper just to ignore anything any politician says.
I’m pretty much in the camp that says: anyone who wants to be a politician is unsuitable for the job.
@shavixmir saidFinally something we agree on shag doody for brains. When applying to be a politician the first question should be:
Wow.

"Do you want to be a politician, do you want to get your hands on the levers of power and start pushing your fellow citizen around with the force of the state?"
Anyone that says 'yes' immediate rejection.
The next question should be:
"Are you going to push drugs for multi billion dollar mega drug corporations?"
Same outcome, the floor opens up, you drop into a chute that dumps you on the footpath outside.

"The practice of tarring and feathering was exported to the Americas, gaining popularity in the mid-18th century. Throughout the 1760s it saw increased usage as a means of protesting the Townshend Revenue Act and those who sought to enforce it. After a period of few tarrings and featherings between 1770 and 1773, the passage of the Tea Act in May 1773 led to a resurgence of incidents.

first, wales is not a country since XV century. Second, for more romantic that idea is, to prove it, assuring that he wasn't just misinformed, is just surreal. Third, the times they have to lie in the name of public interest or state security and face arrest for that... came on... it would be fun to see politicians to say why they are selling weapons and tech to the worst dictators and tyranies. and even if... what is the relevance of wales?

To pick political leaders, we should get a bunch of smart people in a room, ask who wants to be president, and give the job to whoever doesn't raise their hand.
