I do not understand how to begin to understand politics
Politics is one of the key NT behaviour patterns - the Winning pattern.
It is not necessary to simply win, there MUST also be a loser, who is also the 'enemy'.
Political 'friends' are CURRENT strategic allies.
There is no neutrality in politics or indeed in NT social 'games'
You are either a 'friend' or an enemy/threat
Amongst NTz it is considered more socially inappropriate to 'cause offense' than to lie!
Contrast the 'diplomatic' (appropriate) language of Westminster and D.C. with the (usually) hidden behaviour and honesty records of politicians!
