The politicians that make up the present Government have released their Budget for the next twelve months.
Meanwhile, the politician that is the leader of the Official Opposition is quoted in the press as saying the Budget "is an election ploy" designed to get votes, while the only independent politician has reportedly said the Budget is "political".
Well, the dictionary says that a politician is "a person who is professionally involved in politics, esp. as a holder of or a candidate for an elected office."
So shouldn't one expect a politician to be political or attempt to get votes?
Politicians confuse me.
