It's always laughable when one political party official charges a political party official on the opposite side of "playing politics". This is compounded when the Chairman – the political ring master – of a political party alleges such behaviour.

Of course the implied meaning is an accusation that the political party official "playing politics" is not acting in good faith and seeks to gain political mileage.

Well isn't that regretfully what politics is about?

Of course when Bradley Roberts makes such a claim, it's possible he knows the smell?
