I'm shocked that people don't apply the basic principles of human nature. The rules are ridiculous. Some people will see that. Politicians are implementing policy because that's what they need to be seen to be doing, not because they honestly believe it should apply universally. Ergo some politicians will be found in a state of hypocrisy.
The man responsible for much of the policy in the west, a UK advisor l, was caught breaching the rules to have sex with a married woman.
