a politician will do everything: lie through their teeth, promise the impossible, just to get votes. And sometimes or most of the time we fell for it. Same thing in a relationship, we oftentimes fail to see through beyond those beautiful words.

Gee
We think the difficult part is getting there,but boy how mistaken us menfolk are.That's the easy part,once there we have to be gullible beyond belief to believe,"I love you just the way you are",pliable enough to be re shaped ,without to much complaint,accepting of SERIOUS mood swings,develop clairvoyant skills, "of course I knew you meant yes when you said no my sweet" and so on.Wait for the backlash if this falls upon the wrong eyes.

Most women would, hopefully, be inclined to support this particular brand of party platform--as long as you conduct an ambitious, thoroughly honest, campaign.
Meaningful bit of work, Jacob!

Wow, a candidate in love ends up following the same route as that of politician for gaining a seat. Love the metaphor here. A superb write and I enjoyed it to the fullest ^^ Thank you for sharing ^^

Love and politics are not so far removed. They both depend on on diplomatic and cordial relations to succeed.
Another of your neat twists, Jacob ;
