The Practice of 'Political Opportunism'

In his article, the Patriarch refers to the political practice of 'political opportunism', that is, the changing of parties by politicians for personal gain. He points out that these politicians present themselves as steadfast in their values, while in reality they are seeking political survival and securing a position of power. The author argues that this practice undermines citizens' trust in politics and leads to disillusionment. He emphasizes that genuine change of conscience is rare and comes with a cost and consistency, while most 'opportunists' are simply looking for a new opportunity to remain in power.
