Well, there is a difference between telling a white lie by nescessity, and just bulls**ting to get into government and remain there.
There are times when I think lies are nescessary, and therefore white. Say for example if the Hemel bomb was terrorist related and the group said they had a network of bombs due soon. The ensuing panic will do more damage than the bombs, so a fraudulent cover story, such as an accidental explosion would be more appropriate than the truth.
However bulls**ting only for the purposes of getting in to parliment and remaining there, like with promises of unaccomplisable aims is something different.
