Politics and Deception

Chris Trotter, a left wing political commentator, made the following statement in his weekly column in the Independent Financial Review.

Like the stage act of a professional conjuror, democracy is absolutely dependent on the audience's willingness to be deceived.

This is a scary thought.

During the past year, the way that democracy works in New Zealand has been exposed. Not a pretty sight.

I wonder why Christians have such great faith in a system that produces so much garbage.
