I've seen this phrase used a lot recently, and it begs the question - how on earth did we get to a point where a proven (repeatedly) liar is given the top job in the country? It seems to be that politicians can lie at will about stuff now, and it's just batted off or dismissed.

Surely politicians are exactly the people who should be the standard bearers for honesty, rather than the ones who view the truth as an inconvenience?

How did we reach this point, and should honesty now be viewed as a forgotten concept?
