Machiavelli, in The Prince, artfully portrayed what actually works in politics and why — “the ends justify the means” with morality forming the façade of an otherwise tumbledown building. But one should not forget that even a society couldn’t survive without morality, let alone a state. Both stick and the carrot worked in varying degrees with one’s own conscience justifying it on the pretext of “morality is the lack of opportunity” and “everyone does it regardless of party affiliation”. I think they want to see history repeat itself every now and then with a heavy toll on both the state and society! First, it is disconnected from the demo (the people); hence, it does not represent their true voice.
