Well, one of the tricks of politics is to change the subject and get that media spotlight off the stain on your tie so to speak. Ultimately it comes down to the voters keeping the idiots in power.

Then again, if it's just a choice of idiots, there's a bit of a dilemma. In that case, I'd say keep rotating them until you get lucky. :)

Complacency, maybe.
