can anybody tell me why all politicians tell lies?

Because they think they are smarter, more knowledgeable and intelligent than us. The MPs are doing what bookie reps would be doing when asked about bet restriction and account closure?

Being economical with the truth is not the same as lying

i read that Mr TRUMP has hit over 14 thousand blatant proven lies on tv since he became President and in a 3 minute speech he hit 22 lies.he would need to have a good memory at that rate

Micheal Gove would also be a good candidate for the championship titleMicheal can whip out 5 or 6 a minute.

thats 84% of the projected total of statements in an hour at 60 words a minute

of course that's also allowing for the flattening of the curve in his speech when he reaches his peak at 33 minutes and 18 seconds.

Speaking as an ex-bookmakers rep I've never ever been asked or commented on account restriction/closure

To the op,

Because they all have dirt on each other,therefore they can't tell the truth.

To moisok,

All that wealth wont help you lie straighter when you're six foot under.

IMHO.

For the same reason Media lies. When you get to a position where you have the power to influence a big audience, you lie. If you don't, your place is taken by someone who does. Truth won't bring them much.

Its an automatic internal response. Open mouth and lies just flow out.

paid puppets

it doesn't matter who you vote for, the government always gets in

Some of the lies they tell, are not even true.

The bigger question is why do people still listen to them knowing they lie. Or are some politicians truthful?
