Politics do not necessarily need to priorities truth in their venture. Politics are all about the balance of power in the pursuit of national interests. While the truth should be a goal for every human being and organization, the modern world is built on deceit and the struggle for data. After all, knowledge is power. Attaining harmful evidence on another party and hiding one's own evidence puts someone in the place of a significant advantage. Therefore, it is in no politicians or governments interest to primarily peruse the truth over their power agendas.

Political rhetoric is much like advertisement, they are designed to be convincing but must abide by state and country laws. Political rhetoric can go as far as possible until it reaches a certain threshold. This includes, withholding information and using false information as evidence. These are against the law and go against any sincere purpose of a government body. Once this starts to occur, the government must be weeded out for corruption and uprooted to bring in people that are more trust worthy. If this does not happen, the country could very well go down the path of corruption and into dictatorship.
