Perhaps but sloppy and stupid. He's either being dishonest or incompetent.
If anything this campaign has shown what a shower of excrement our politicians are.
In the case of many their grasp of basic facts has been showing as lacking. In some cases there's that along with a devious and dishonest streak a mile wide.
I genuinely couldn't care less about the partisanship, just look at the utter shower we have in charge right now. It's no wonder public confidence in politicians is so low. About the only thing many seem able to do competently is be dishonestly manipulative. Though what can be expected when so many's previous jobs and subsequent ones offer no value to the economy and trade off family contacts and in the future those they made while MPs.
That's those who have actually worked outside of politics.
Look across all benches and the old boys/girls network is in full flow, meritocracy be damned. If you know the right people you're put up in a safe seat where the population would vote for a turd if it has the right colour rosette and you're in.
When you're done with those you then look at the Labour politician incubator, the NUS, and all you can do is shake your head.
After that look at how up to their elbows in corporate interests and lobbyists the Tories are. Then the level of control unions have given how the Labour party is funded. The revolving door between the Liberal Democrats and the EU. UKIP's associations. The SNP that seem to exist purely to blame Westminster for everything and score populist points.
Ugh.
