Politician's Syllogism
The politician's syllogism, also known as the politician's logic or the politician's fallacy, is a logical fallacy of the form: #We must do something. #This is something. #Therefore, we must do this. The politician's fallacy was identified in a 1988 episode of the BBC television political sitcom ''Yes, Prime Minister'' titled " Power to the People", and has taken added life on the Internet. The syllogism, invented by fictional British civil servants, has been quoted in the real British Parliament. The syllogism has also been quoted in American political discussion. As a meme, the quasi-formal name "politician's syllogism" is clunky and not widely known; the notion is often conveyed by invoking the central phrase this is something with ironic import, such as when a major league sports team whose season is in dire straits exchanges an aging athlete with a bad leg for an aging athlete with a bad arm.
