Welcome to Rotherham, the city of Angels

Western politicians, as usual are very quick to sacrifice everything we hold as dear, sacred and important just for a few votes - And, dare I say, the left does it as often or more often than the right, even though in the past I believed the opposite.

Do they? I guess they have a lot of catching up to do considering the size of the stinking pile left by the late and unlamented Jimmy Savile and his august crew of fellow child molesters.

Stop strawmanning - I don't think any politician is safe from corruption, but I used to think only rightists were bad and evil.

Corrected

Although you have corrected the title of the thread, you still have it wrong in your opening post.

Double corrected - How embarrassing.

That the left is not free from evil is not the same as claiming that "the left does it as often or more often than the right".  Where is your evidence that the left is at least as guilty as the right?

Both spectrums have no problem lying and deceiving for the purpose of gathering votes. Whether that is done by allowing rapists to walk freely, to reduce taxes on the rich and allow corporate welfare or simply institute subsidizes to a privileged group of people, it doesn't matter. Because modern European politicians are similar on the center, meaning that it's hard to distinguish center-right from center-left, it's actually hard trying to label someone as left or right if it wasn't for the fact that allegedly every politician's party pronounces itself as being in favor of one ideology.
