It comes down to can we trust them or not and lying or deliberately misleading because the truth may not be rainbows and unicorns does not incline people to trust and i think that's why so many are apathetic towards politics now. This attitude of treating the public like children and hiding the unpleasant truth has not worked and while we have a sizable group in this country that spit out their dummies when they are told something they don't like i suspect the majority would rather have the unpleasant truth then a pleasant lie.

The truth allows us to address issue's, cause's us to think about them and in turn deal with them, hiding the truth does nothing positive except maybe get a politician off the hook temporarily. We've had a couple of decades of spin, creative disclosure and misleading and our society and politics are worse for it it's time for a change and honesty would be refreshing.
