One thing the Conservatives do particularly well is read the public mood. And evidently what they are reading is an electorate so disenchanted and disconnected from national politics that dishonesty is considered just business as usual in the nation’s capital. As long as a government believes the public doesn’t care about politicians who lie, don’t expect those who do to be punished.
