单词	placeman
释义	placeman /ˈpleɪsman / noun (plural placemen) British derogatory A person appointed to a position, especially in government service, for personal profit and as a reward for political support: he vetoed the appointment of a Labour councillor in favour of his Tory placeman... In this respect, the oligarchs and their political placemen who insist that their right to stolen property is sacred make the same crude claim as the regime that we overthrew: that they have an indefeasible right to the exercise of power. It also indicates that many Labour ministers aren't sincere believers in the Third Way, but are placemen and women interested chiefly in their careers. However, a new way of appointing or electing its members is required which will effectively avoid both placemen and a mix of political views which mirror the House of Commons.
