About Event
Should a politician’s personal morality matter if their policies work?
Is moral hypocrisy worse than bad policy — or just inevitable in a flawed system?
(e.g., Can we trust someone who lies in private even if they deliver public results?)Do we judge politicians too harshly for personal failings — or not harshly enough for moral cowardice?
(e.g., Are “good family men” who avoid hard decisions actually more dangerous than scandal-ridden doers?)Does focusing on personal morality distract from holding politicians accountable for systemic harm?
(e.g., Are we more upset by affairs than by poverty or war — and what does that say about us?)
