The crazier thing to me is how the press reports stories like this, it's framed purely as reported speech, with zero analysis on likelihood, or legality of such inducements.

There's a statement about reporters having to look through their own windows when reporting on someone who claims it is raining.

A large part of the voters are gullible idiots who don’t understand when they vote against their own interests. Add a personality cult in the mix and this explains the current situation we’re in.
