Worst examples of politician-speak? I couldn't possibly comment …
Japan's justice minister has resigned after being accused of making light of the parliamentary process when he remarked how "easy" his job was. In a speech he gave to his constituency, he said: "Being justice minister is easy as I only have to remember two phrases, either of which I can use in parliament whenever I'm stuck for an answer". His two stock answers were: "I will not comment on specific cases" and "We are dealing with the matter in line with the law and evidence". Which stock phrases do you think our politicians rely on too heavily? Do you think less of those who use them, or accept that it's part of the job of a politician to deflect difficult questions?
