Summary

This quote suggests a sarcastic criticism of politicians and a call for change. Rather than rewarding politicians with symbolic gestures like giving them the keys to the city, the quote proposes a more substantial action: changing the locks. This implies a desire to break away from the established political order and find new leaders who will prioritize the needs of the people over their own interests. The quote conveys a sense of disillusionment with politicians and highlights the need for genuine reform in political systems.
