While politicians often prioritize their own interests and maintaining popularity, the quote suggests that these decisions can backfire and result in unintended negative consequences. Acting purely in alignment with political circumstances, rather than considering the long-term implications and ethical considerations, can lead to errors in judgment that may be detrimental to both the politicians and the society they serve. It serves as a reminder that political expediency should not overshadow careful deliberation and critical thinking when making decisions.
