You tell sinkie sheep that you will fight to the bitter end for their freedom and their response will probably go somewhere along the line of "Siao! I rather you give me money". Politics, as with all things in life, is about adapting to the demands of those whom you seek to exploit and manipulate. In simple terms, tell them what they want to hear. It's simple arithmetic: in every country, the average ratio of sheep to intellectuals is approximately 10:1. So why bother pandering to the whims of the minority? After all, democracy is nothing more than two wolves and a sheep voting on dinner. Majority rules.
