On the other hand, if it turns out to be a sensation, everybody tries to take credit for the policy even though they opposed it initially!
In this game, you think of something, now... watch the other players, then, you say something else, watch some more for public reaction, do something different from what you said.
Ah, before entering the clubhouse, leave your ideology at the doorstep, along with your umbrella  . And murmur Shakespeare before standing up to speak:
"Fair is foul, and foul is fair,
Hover through fog and filthy air."

And after some of these days in parliament one might also say
"So foul and fair a day I have not seen."
(with apologies to Shakespeare)
