I love collective nouns and I learned yesterday a “loveliness” is the collective noun for ladybirds.

It got me thinking what should the collective noun for politicians be?

An embarrassment has already been taken by the Panda!

A pratfall of politicians!

A pratfall is a fall onto one's buttocks. Slang for an embarrassing mistake . . .

''Poli'' means many and ''tic'' means persistent, multiple motor and vocal so basically, ''politician'' means

many motor mouths!

"A parcel of rougues in a nation" as some, I believe Rabbie Burns, once said.

someone, I meant, sorry.

How about "a dishonesty of politicians"?

A bunch of self-serving hypocrites, that's for sure.... Is that not pithy enough? 😅

It’s depressing how negative these suggestions are. Even more interesting is how none of the ardent political fans have come up with something more positive.

Has to be an "Ugliness."

The polar opposite of being lovely.
