I must say that OP's initial post is the best, and most accurate translation of any political speech I have ever read in my entire life.

IT kind of reminded me of "Yes, Minister" TV show. Here are some memorable quotes appropriate for the moment.

------------------------------
THE DEATH LIST

"Ministers have an enviable intellectual suppleness and moral maneuverability.
Translation: You can't trust them further than you can throw them."


THE GREASY POLE

"It is only totalitarian governments that suppress facts. In this country we simply take a democratic decision not to publish them."


A QUESTION OF LOYALTY

"A good political speech is not one in which you can prove that the man is telling the truth; it is one where no one else can prove he is lying."

"Politicians' speeches are not written for the audience to which they are delivered. Delivering the speech is merely the formality that has to be gone through in order to get the press release into the newspapers."

"It is our job to tell Select Committees the truth and nothing but the truth. But it would be profoundly inappropriate and grossly irresponsible to tell them the whole truth."

"Ministers must never go anywhere without their briefs, in case they get caught with their trousers down."


PREFACE

"Any statement in a politician's memoirs can represent one of six different levels of reality:
a. What happened.
b. What he believed happened.
c. What he would have liked to have happened.
d. What he wants to believe happened.
e. What he wants other people to believe happened.
f. What he wants other people to believe he believed happened."


SKELETON IN THE CUPBOARD

"The three most unreliable things in public life: Political Memoirs, Official Denials and Manifesto Promises."


PARTY GAMES

"The first rule of politics: never believe anything until it's been officially denied."

"'The Government's position' means 'the best explanation of past events that cannot be disproved by available facts'."

"If asked if he wants to be Prime Minister, the generally acceptable answer for a politician is that while he does not seek the office, he has pledged himself to the service of his country, and that should his colleagues persuade him that that is the best way he can serve, he might reluctantly have to accept the responsibility, whatever his personal wishes might be."

"Solved problems aren't news. Tell the press a story in two halves - the problem first and the solution later. Then they get a disaster story one day and triumph story the next."


A REAL PARTNERSHIP

"Wearing two hats is not difficult for those who are in two minds. Or have two faces."

Maybe it's time to sack all politicians? It won't even be noticed among all the thousands of jobs being lost every day. What is exactly politicians' usefulness, anyway?
