    At least your politicians try to state out their method of saving money. Sometimes our politicians might just say "we will start to save some money..." :yeees:

    "We must engage with the voters..."

    What the fuck does that mean? Engage makes it sound like you want to drag them into a public toilet.

    "Politicians don't listen" - the speaker is on an ego trip and means "Politicians don't listen to me specifically ". Normally said after they've suggested some hair brained idea which went out of fashion with Stalin and which if agreed with by said politician would see his vote plumment to one person (two if he votes for himself)
