It was a question of restyling in this case. At the time the gentleman in question had the treasury cops all over him for fraudulent bankruptcy and debts for billions. "Clean Hands" was closing in on him. So he siezed the opportunity to create a new party to fill a vacuum on the right, tactically on a "pro-clean-hands" platform. As soon as he was in power (1994) he did the opposite with the Bondi "Save Crooks" decree (fortunately it did not pass). He then began to develop his self-serving anti-judiciary propaganda campaign which is still going on- on all channels- 24 hours a day. In 1994 a large majority was in favor of the judiciary branch. The latest surveys have trust in the judiciary at 37%. Owning the media has its advantages.
