It is no longer a secret that politicians enrich themselves, they look selfish in my opinion, not in accordance with their promises when they will serve as people's representatives, moreover, many politicians are currently addicted to slot gambling, where they openly play during state meetings, so how can they forbid people to stop gambling if they themselves set a bad example
I don't know how you guys connected this topic in a political point of view, but yeah, ALL politicians are selfish. They ran and secure themselves in the office for their own gain. Though, some may not be too obvious because they are doing their job well.
Gambling is one of the few vices that could potentially destroy one's life, career, and even family, but government had a hard time controlling it because it generates huge revenues. That means, huge pocket for the politicians too. So, educating gamblers like these kind of parades won't have any significant results in my opinion.
