I don't think anybody actually cares the politicians have a party. The average person cares that politicians didn't follow the rules they passed while enforcing / attempting to enforce the rules on the average Joe.
Right answer! This is about signalling more than it's about the actual health details and people (rightfully?) are unhappy because leaders who make rules should follow them (right....?)
Frankly I think our politicians deserve a break and should be able to have a party to blow off steam once in a while, and I tolerate fairly modest violations of the lockdown policy.
I think a lot of people in other professions were also working hard, deserved a break and wanted to blow off steam, are you advocating for them to be allowed to ignore the law set down during pandemic too?
How much harder is it going to be to convince the public to follow rules/guidelines if we announce that certain groups can ignore parts of them?
