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!

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

many motor mouths!

A pratfall of politicians!

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

The bar has been set so low in recent years that it's really hard to think of most of them as politicians, so
a Paucity of Politicians
