The 2002 Dutch general election fits this pattern as well, I suggest. Then new Paars leaders Ad Melkert (PvDA, Labour) and Hans Dijkstal (VVD, Liberals) were so good in appearing technocratic and out of touch, especially compared with Pim Fortuyn, it was an art form. How far fetched is it to suspect that high politics is a scam?

yup, they're good, but every so often they slip, and that's when i realise how correct you are.
the most classic example of this was when Kerry lost, there was something so pre-arranged about it, the look in his eyes, done deal... i think they're jamming wih NLP or something too, as i still like the guy!
now O-man...
art form is right. ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
