    That’s a really interesting argument.

    When the opposition is in power, you complain about everything they are doing wrong, and not only that you complain about stuff that has always been happening but that they refuse to abolish.

    But when your allies get in power, and the same things are still happening, and your allies are not abolishing the bad things either, but you stop complaining about them so forcefully.

    It sounds like hypocracy, but it also sounds like human nature. I think I would behave the same way.

    Need to think about that.

    For a start, there are two perspectives:

    • People are silent when their friends do bad things, but outspoken when their enemies do bad things. Everyone does this.

    • As a politician, if you are as critical of your allies as you are of your enemies, you will never be given any power.
