Politicians are always accused of avoiding answering questions. If it makes them so unpopular, why do they all do it?

I now get why politicians don't answer questions, but now I'm just annoyed at the media instead of the politicians.... great.
@@etekweb be annoyed at everything.
I'm annoyed at the public's inability to hold politicians to account. The media is just a self serving institution. All the facts are out there, often staring people in the face -- but either they are not interested enough to look, or can't even see facts that are under their noses (or are often too busy and exhausted from their jobs).

The media is influenced and created by the people
Basically because anything they say can and will be used against them and means their unemployed. But if we just keep firing everyone who is wrong at one point or another we will never get any work done so we play a stupid game of avoidance
Or just repeat "Strong and stable" every 5 seconds...

Watching this in 2018, I can't help but see the juxtaposition of the faces of Cameron, Miliband and Clegg in the intro, immediately followed by the sentence "Politicians all suffer from chronic job insecurity".
Three years on, none are still leader of their party, and only one is still an MP at all.
Which one? I don't think I even knew that.
@@TheSmart-CasualGamer Spoon is still an MP. He used to be leader of the Culinary Party, but he was ousted in 2013 as the other party members felt that Knife would be a sharper leader. Spoon is now the Lib Dem MP for East Kettering and Corby Bypass where he scooped out a marginal victory. Incidentally, the Culinary Party was shaken to it's core in 2014 after an incident where Knife attacked a back-bencher, leaving the whole party in disarray, and they disbanded altogether when Teacup was dropped and Dish left to join Spoon. (Side note: Dish is still a member of the Lib Dems, but has yet to gain any real support in her constituency in Stoke.) The other members of the party didn't fare so well: Plate was shattered, Fork was found in a road, and Bowl was taken to hospital after being found caked in a substance which was later discovered to be dried Weetabix.

Partially it's also the media to blame. Some questions can't be properly answered, either due to their wording implying stuff you can't erase if you just answer or cause the question itself is based on wrong assumptions. Not always the case, absolutely, but it is also a contributing factor.
This is one of the best channels ever.

And then there are politicians who _do_ answer questions, who _do_ promise impossible things and who _do_ make outrageous, demonstrably false claims, but voters are fine with it for some reason. I know those are an exception to the rule, but it's an interesting phenomenon, anyway.
Nixitur Possibly because they have got fed up of the question-duckers.
American politics and British politics are very different, albeit they are both shitshow in their own right, but British house of commons is at least passionate.
The reason being, the propagando machine is backing them. Actually not a rocket science. 1000 times spoken lie gets into a true statement. If you get challenged every time you lie at an interview...just imagine.
Josiah Kaminski fake passion bud. Yelling and jeering in chamber =/= true genuine passion. But it’s good at looking like it
It's better to have a liar then someone who has nothing to say and no transparency. We can sort through the liars when they fuck up. They're being voted in so we can take them down instead of having a monstrously corrupt system that can't be penetrated because no one says fucking anything about what they're doing, which makes court cases and tribunals against them impossible.
You have to fuck the risks and have stupid idiots take the stage, they take others with them by making these mistakes. Sorting through the corrupt causes chaos, and so be it. It's the only option at this point. People are fine with it because they want them to burn on stage, corporate schemers destroyed this country.
I once watched a presentation from former Australian PM Kevin Rudd. During the Q&A a woman stood up and she just told him about how her experience with institutionalised racism in the 1970s without asking any question, but Kevid Rudd managed to answer the not-question anyway. I didn't know such smooth fuckery was possible.

Underrated comment
Iirc, post-presidency Bill Clinton was being interviewed as part of the release of his memoir, but the interviewer shifted topic to some past attempt to capture Bin Laden. Clinton shut him down HARD and they had to go back to the main topic
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY NO?
yes
Sounds like a politician with a backbone, a notion as insane as a Margaret Thatcher who cares.
"their job security matters more than they job being done efficiently"
This is possibly the most poignant comment on modern politics.
If they loose their job, they wont be able to do it efficiently
The only sentence in the video I disagreed with. In order to define if a job is being done effectively, we have to define what the job is. This will vary from politician to politician depending on what their aims are. Let's take the most ideal definition, that the job of a politician is to represent and serve the public. If someone is confident enough to run for office they clearly have a conviction that the policy platform they are standing on, even if they don't agree with it all, is at least better then the platform put forward by their opposition, if they were following our ideal definition. For such people, their job security, and of their party colleagues, is intrinsically linked to serving the public. If they blunder in an interview they help their opposition who if you remember they thought had a worse policy platform. In order to serve the national interest at such a moment, they must serve their own interests. The two at that moment are in alliance. By covering their own back they are doing everything they can at that moment for the country and as such are at least in their own ideological world view doing their jobs the most effectively they possibly could be.
@@Pilgrim1st The issue is that elected representative are chosen by the same people that will boo at them as soon as they aren't shown doing only the great stuff they promised to do.
People are too stupid to realize why there's always a difference pre- and post- election. They want perfect ideal parental figures but all they get are real people.
@@Ezullof Didn't your mother ever teach you not to break your promises? Or not to make promises you can't keep? The voters have every right to be angry when a politician's promises (The promises that got them elected, mind you) turn out to be empty words.
@@dragonslair951167 The electorate doesn't like honesty, the electorate likes being told what they want to hear. Elections throughout history have shown us that pandering works. So if your opponent is pandering, you can either let him win or pander yourself.
I just stumbled upon your channel, when CZcams suggested me some educational content. And even though I don't live in the UK, I found myself watching almost every video on your channel for the last couple of hours, leaving me wondering how you can be stuck at 38000 subscribers whilst producing so much top quality content.
One could argue that focusing on mainly London / the UK, limits the amount of people who are interested in watching your videos.
But anyways, here you've got an instant subscription :)
Cheers and keep up the amazing work!!
38,000 is pretty decent if you ask me.
+otocan Without doubt. It takes a shit ton of work and dedication to even get there.
I'm just saying that it is sad how some channels get millions of subs for uploading shit, while others like this are the ones so few people care about. It's sad, but I assume this is how it is, however...
Some demographics are larger than others.

Clever joke, but also Lord how I wish that was the case in the US
It is. Jeb Bush's "Please clap" moment will haunt him forever. So will Hillary's "basket of deplorables."
The problem in US is that the political climate became so hostile towards governmental power and so extremely polarized that voters started to love dumb but radical-sounding soundbites like "Build the wall!" or "Defund the police!"
@Posiman ah, but neither of them had the job yet at the time.

But Trump doesn't commit to.anything, aswell.. he just does it the populist way
Primo Zerajo He does, but he lies and then changes his mind!
This is about british politics.
cookieface80 trump had an influence on politics worldwide
Makes me wonder, if it were completely normal for politicians to analyze their statements and change their mind openly and on the fly, for example during an interview, would their credibility really be undermined by it? I know that's largely not the case *now*, but for me at least it's really hard to trust anyone who can't admit to having made a mistake or misjudgment, and it's trust-inducing to me to hear someone admit to having been wrong, and further if they explained how it happened.
Tuuli Senja same for me, but the media and political opposition will always twist it to make you seem weak, dishonest or “flip-flopping”
What Sultanare said. You'll just look weak if you openly change your mind like that, and there's plenty of people out there would never vote for a "weak" politician.
Never mind being weak, when half of political scene praises obscurantism, anti-progress, hates science, and advocates being stuck 4 centuries ago, actually reading anything, never mind changing your mind, is utter heresy...
Tuuli Senja Politics is a game of hide and seek, and if you're found, you're out.
Unfortunately, people would respect you more if you took a shit in public and stood by it, rather than coming forward and saying the shit was a bad idea. Because then you look weak or look like you can't commit. Because politics makes smart people dumb.
I don't even live in the UK and I find every single one of your videos informative and hilarious!
It's because politics is basically the same everywhere. They only has different faces.

We’ll never find a perfect solution to this problem (any problem). Change is very slow. Probably the best way to deal with it is to educate people to let more of us see through these quite childish political tools/games and see the things that actually matter.
Kudos to your channel you’re actually doing that! Hope you’re gonna reach a wider audience!
Issue:
The ones responsible for the education system are the ones in power.
Improving the education system makes the general population less gullible.
The ones in power are the ones profiting from the people's gullibility.
Thus,
The system is very unlikely to improve without outside intervention.
It's amazing how you could even make something hopeless funny with no punchline or gag.
Great vid! Good summary as to why all politicians are evasive - regardless of party.
One thing you forgot to mention is that they have to appeal to a wide section of the electorate to get elected and nobody can please everyone so using weasel words and generalities "I condemn all violence" rather than "I condemn X terrorist violence" is a good example to insure you don't offend "X" voters.
The general public take the piss out of this but they think politics is like talking to like-friended mates down the pub "All cyclists should be banned" or "private cars should be made illegal" .... your mates clap and think you're a genius BUT try alienating huge groups of the electorate by being that outspoken,,,
There is no other way but evasion or weasel wording if you want to be elected...otherwise you will just be a protest politician and be ignored.
Don't believe me? Try it!
Very good point. Probably more important than any of the reasons we gave. Wish we’d mentioned that.
Good stuff anyway!
These are the SEVEN rules of American politics:
RULE ONE - Quit being logical, it just gets in the way.
RULE TWO - Never tell the truth. (Actually, this is Rule Number One, but if we called it that, we'd be telling the truth, so we must call it Rule Two.
RULE THREE - Never use logic in an argument. The public is too dumb to understand it (brainwashed by dumbed out TV all of their lives). Use an EMOTIONAL HOOK instead, no matter if it makes sense or not. Nobody will notice. It's expected.
RULE FOUR - Never let anybody pin you down on any position on anything if you can help it.
RULE FIVE - When in doubt salute glittering generalities such as Motherhood, The American Way, Apple Pie, Abraham Lincoln, etc.
RULE SIX - Remember that you are ALWAYS "ON" (TV, Video, people's camera phones, etc.) whether you may think so or not. This applies from the moment you put your clothes on in the morning. And it includes all of your private communications as well. This is the Age of Surveillance, so someone will be viewing EVERYTHING you Do.
RULE SEVEN (this is my favorite rule) - Paranoia is your best friend, but don't trust him.

"Hi, I'm Peter Botting, and I actually exist!" has to be the best starting line of the decade
“Call today”
Points away from the email address he’s telling you to call
Tbf, I've seen politicians state facts and still get booed for not saying what people want to hear. Like that woman who finally said out loud what most architects and urban planners have repeated for the last decade : individual houses in low-density areas is bad for the environnement and the economy (and forces people to car-dependency). But it takes time to explain, which a lot of TV channels won't provide and long explanations gives plenty of space to get attacked by opponents, even if those attacks are ridiculously stupid. (like people saying "but I NEED my car !" when talking about car dependency. That's literally what we're trying to solve and they still find a way to not understand that it's the main problem).
You may play fair, your opponents won't and the public is often too stupid to see it.

I'm actually an insignificant municipal politician myself: We'll start answering questions honestly when you stop crucifying us the split-second we admit to the slightest hint of imperfection, error, humanity or change of heart. You might not believe me when I say this but we actually - don't - like upsetting people by talking like Monsanto corporation representatives with something to hide.
Ha. Yup. Can't disagree with you there. We all keep encountering people who observe our current political system, how much of a messy trainwreck it is, get angry, ask "who's to blame?" ... and start pointing fingers at the current crop of politicians. Nah. It's our fault. Us voters. The electorate.
Most political issues are messy and multidimensional and deep and time-consuming. How many voters put in that much time and attention and energy?
Very few! I sure didn't. When certain politicians, call them Group A, attempt to communicate these messy multidimensional issues, it just goes over just about every voter's head and Group A members get nowhere. Meanwhile, these politicians' neighbours, Group B, spout vaguely positive crowd-pleasing fluff ... and voters flock to them. And Group A members die a little inside.
Similar with publicly admitting mistakes. No-one's perfect! I'm sure not. Just as political issues are messy and multidimensional, so are people. If someone from Group A attempts a public, nuanced, thoughtful confession of their mistakes, a member of Group B will immediately smell blood, lead a mob and launch a witch-hunt, and the voters who'd put in little or no effort to truly understand A's issues will lap up that nonsense.
A major reason so many politicians appear so soulless is because so many voters have already weeded out the non-psychopaths. There are other reasons too, naturally, but that's a biggie.
@@pineutrino Can agree.
Stopped reading at similar mistakes and I just got lost reading OP's comment because I dodgy sleep yet (failed to type OP 4 times).
I gotta agree here, if a politician of any sort shows a mistake or admits they did something and apologize for it, it’s already too late, people are so eager to jump on politicians that it’s really a chicken or the egg situation at this point
Being honest, politics are toxic because people are toxic. People love to claim that "all politicians are corrupt" and that "all politicians are the same". Say something inaccurate or wrong and you'll have hordes of people exaggerating it as if you were Hitler reborn. With such a stupid and toxic approach to politics society has, it's not surprising politicians just resort to saying nothing and trying to keep their work as far away from the public view as they can. Because it doesn't matter if your work is good or bad, people will love to claim you are just another corrupt, useless politician.

I've had a few jobs in which I faced the media and this does not match my training. I was trained to go into an interview with several points in mind that I was going to get out. The questions were barely relevant, except inasmuch as they were launching points for me to talk about what I wanted to talk about.
And now we know, not answering questions can also get you out of a job. Just ask Corbyn.
You know, even though Peter Botting sells himself to others on being able to teach you how to sell yourself to others by being confident, persuasive, and articulate, he always sounds like he is chewing on a sock while he speaks. I'm sure Pete Botting could make that sentence even harder to parse.

Great video but I disagree on some points. Sometimes, politicians don’t want to answer a question because it genuinely points out a flaw in their record. I also disagree with the statement “job security is more important than their job being done effectively” because most politicians have a job outside of their TV appearances. Finally, I think that there are mitigation steps to counteract this problem.
Too funny. Completely lost it at the end.
