Nice to meet you
Hi Martin, how's it going?
You're in your element here, I suspect. In your element are you?
Oh, I don't know.
I would say what really drives me in philiospophy, kind of my day job
and also my vocation, which is politics if you like, is truth.
Hello there.
How are you?
Nice to meet you. I'd probably vote for you actually.
You're very kind.
My philiosphy thesis was the Theory of Intentional Deception and Lying.
At various levels people are deceiving.
I could be saying to somebody "good luck in the election" and they're an opposition politician.
Hi Claude, how's it going? How's life with Jean?
I think we come across each other, from time to time. Probably working on some comities.
I hear on the grape vine that we're doing quite well, so lets see how it goes.
It's for us to decide when we need to tell it as it is.
For sure I think in politics the consequences are so great, of self perception 
the consequences are so great of bad decision making,
that truth should be one of our essentials.

It's not so simple to say, I'm not going to shake his hand, 
I'm not going to go to their table or platform because there's somebody there I find offensive. 
If you do that, you end up without a voice, 
so there may have to be compromise.
I think the important thing is to know "know thyself".
To know oneself, that's the Delphic Oracle, so to speak.
You need to somehow to know your own hypocrisy.
Welcome to tonight's castings for the European elections.
One of the most telling this about lying and deception, 
which I try to un-earth in my thesis, is how outward ability to deceive, 
can impact negatively on the individuals own character.
A politician that falls into this trap, of deceiving themselves, 
is not just harming the people who, for whom his making bad decisions, 
but his also harming himself.
That's actually quite a fascinating thing to see revealed in somebody.
Good evening all.
The CO2 emissions and renewables. New science will resolve these problems.
So have faith in human ingenuity.   
A politician may not be lying as such, he can be sincere,  
he can be telling it as he finds it. 
But the difficulty is, with all the evidence in front of him, 
should he be seeing things differently?
And incompetence is highly consequential in terms of injustice.
Just as consequential as malice.
