It's well known that promises made by politicians are often compared to those of sailors. I also talk about this in a video that you can see by clicking on the icon on the right hand strip of this blog. In Italy, uniquely among democratic countries, the lie and the negation of the truth are unfortunately tolerated when coming from those who represent the citizens.

It's almost as though lies are a part of the professional tool-kit of a good politician, who can say and not say, affirm and retract, misunderstand and be misunderstood.
The photos of the so-called “pianists” in Parliament who voted for themselves and for absent colleagues have been published in the last few years by many newspapers, but these parliamentarians are still there, after an action, which is an act of derision and is lying to the electors as they have altered the outcome of the voting in Parliament.

Bill Clinton was investigated for years for having lied about a presumed relationship; our President of the Council has lied about his membership of the P2 and was convicted in the first and second instance and was subsequently prescribed. The tribunale di Venezia considered him guilty without any shadow of doubt.
Clinton would have retired to a private life.
In Italian public life the lie is no longer to be tolerated. Those who lie and who deny the truth cannot represent the citizens and our country.

In the next legislature, I will not fail to publish the news on my site every time a politician is proved to have told a lie.
