"Politics should be regarded as less like an exercise in producing【13】statements and more like a poker game," he said. "And there is an expectation by a poker player that you try to【14】 them as part of the game."
Newey said lying by politicians can occasionally be【15】justified, such as when national security is at【16】, and the public even has a "right to be lied to" in cases where they do not expect’ to be told the whole truth, such as during a war.
But the main cause of lying is increased【17】by the public into areas that the government would rather not discuss candidly. If voters only asked fewer questions, politicians would tell them fewer lies.
