Is there anything more corrosive to the credibility [and more damaging to the electability] of a political party, than when politicians from political party's are seen to be blatantly lying, to those whose charge [i.e. duty] it is, to elect them to office ?
And is there anything more damaging to our democratic political system, than the systematic corruption [of purpose of democracy] through the systematic and blatant lying of our political and national leaders ?
Lying politicians and the corruption of purpose of democracy - being openly exposed to public view - are the principle causes of instability in the democratic system of government, and they are the principle cause of the corrosion of confidence - among citizens - in the democratic system of government, imo.
Self serving and deceitful politicians have subverted and damaged both the purpose and the function of modern democracy, imo.
Why is this happening ?
Why are our national
politicians leaders doing this ?
And why is political instability our certain future, in 'Western hemisphere' countries ?
We should not blame 'others'.It is our own tolerance of [a culture of] LAWLESSNESS [in our own 'bosom'] that will be our downfall.i

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."
Karl Popper
"Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil."
