Who does politics can choose the party to play with, the arguments to fight with, and the equivocal reasons to explain to the electorate, but can not choose the "favourite" priorities, budget deficits, environmental emergencies, and other embarrassing situations.

POLITICIAN: It's not my fault. The former mayor left a huge amount of budget deficit.
