More and more, I also suspect there's a more explicit screening mechanism that selects for these types: i.e. potential candidates are put into compromising positions and only those who are successfully compromised receive the support needed to get into or stay in power.
seems plausible
and besides kompromat, it could be a "one of us" effect, like how if you show your dark side some people will actually trust you more
How I read the article: the person in question was at a point married to a lady that was an at one time an activist for the party:
According to Do Rzeczy, his ex-wife, Kamila L., a former Civic Platform activist
where the latter
was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison for failing to provide assistance to her minor daughter from a previous relationship
Not for actively participating, but for failing to protect her kid.
So where's the public office being held exactly?
it's more a sense that public officials and the political class more generally have a high correlation to being surrounded by sexual scandals, even if not actively engaged themselves. Kristi Noems husband was just in the news for one.
It could simply be a reporting bias, obviously, but it could also be real
I mean that's one of the interpretations right? that they get targeted for sexual scandal because it lets others wield power over them
Hmm... I think it's more like: there's sick people. These got caught (but too late) and sentenced for horrendous things.
Instead of coming up with a solution to prevent the next little kid or goat getting abused, the politicos would rather use this as political capital to cement their power against their rivals. And do nothing.
Maybe they cannot do anything. So if they can't, why are we talking about some inconsequential politicians that no one will ever remember? It was dumb of me to reply to this post, lol.
Is there a correlation between sexual degeneracy and holding public office?
Maybe some weird attraction to power?
