A sludge-bucket of Group Nouns for politicians...
-
"Lie" is most appropriate, not compound terms.
Are they off on a golfing junket again?

:) !!!!!! One of the albums I have on my phone includes a song by Joan Jett ("Wonderin'") which I'm sure also borrows from John Adams. It's very similar to "Is anybody there?" I haven't yet gotten around to ripping the soundtrack album to mp3.
Which song/album is that?

Most people know a load of cows is a "Herd", a load of Lions is a "Pride" but how many people know the correct collective (or group) nouns for politicians? My suggestions are: - A Turgid Moreass of.. (mis-spelling of morass is deliberate). - A Lie of.. - A Criminal Bunch of.. - A ^%%*&^%$ %$#^#$& ***&** of.. Sorry, got carried away there. Most collective nouns are single words such as in: a Murder of Crows, a Pack of Wolves, a Swarm of Bees, a Flock of Geese, etc. So what we need is a good, appropriate, single word to be used as a collective noun for politicians: Note: Please, no political messages or trolling - we still have a soapbox for that.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I would have thought a conspiracy of politicians would be an obvious choice. These things are called terms of venery.
