You know when you are growing up you are told by parents and those of higher influence to take responsibility for yourself and your actions.
However when it comes to politics it is not your fault and the other side is always to blame.
Am I missing something here?
If you want to be in a position of power whatever you do, never claim responsibility for your actions or your mistakes but put the blame somewhere or someone else?
