Untrustworthy

Political statement. Appointing a proxy is not a solution because then you violate my secrecy/opinion. #Government has now definitively made itself #untrustworthy. Might as well print names on the #vote papers then

‘Now’ – not later. In other words, stante pede, post-haste, this can’t go on any longer!

The word “definitively” in the sentence “#Government has now definitively made itself #untrustworthy” implies that there are more frequent situations in which the government appears untrustworthy (script formulation – Edwards, 1994), and that this has now happened so often that the scenario must be an established fact: the government is untrustworthy.

Address the suggestion that the government is more often seen as untrustworthy. For example, explain the organisation’s values and/or how the public’s interests are represented. In this example, you could also address the substantive statement that with appointing a proxy, voting secrecy cannot be guaranteed.
