"Accuse" is the wrong word. The purpose of politicians in capitalist democracies is to depoliticize politics. One's attitude towards DP/RP politicians should be the same as Swift's towards the hawk that was preying on his chickens. He didn't blame it for being what it was, but nevertheless was happy when someone shot it.
