Word used to describe Politicians, or governing
people in power who make silly or dangerous decisions, policies, or the like which usually have the opposite effect than what they were intended for.
Politicians who are after media attention and
PR to make themselves look
good and win "votes" rather than improve the situation for the voters.

Congestion charging, Emissions control zone
tax, excessive
anti-parking measures and no drive zone. Those sillymen really have got it in for the motorist!
Oh dear, I can't afford to pay the taxes and fines on my
car any more and public transport is utterly aweful. Damn silly
men, I'
m voting Geremy Kyle next time.
