Are politicians to be trusted ?

Mr Realist gave his blessing for me to start my own thread.......so he is not all bad.

Can we trust any politician ?

Since becoming PM the lady we are compelled to lead us out of the EU, has spent much of her time dithering and turning, so unlike the Iron Lady as to be a laughing stock.

If you are a Tory devotee it could be construed to be 'listening' and lauded as a strength.

I would interpret it as totally wishy washy and weak.

No of course not. Especially at election time when they promise us the Earth, only to remove all our hopes and dreams in a "U-turn" when they realise they haven't the funds to put it all in place.
Liars all, whatever the party.
