If Ben Elton thinks the prime minister is arrogant or lacks empathy, he can say so. But to use words like “narcissist” and “sociopath” starts a dangerous process. 🖊️EliotWilson2 for ipaperviews
The critique was significant, however. Of course politicians can often seem evasive, fond of jargon and desperate to convey pre-prepared remarks or concepts. That is part of the game. But Elton was very specific: he described Rishi Sunak as a “narcissistic sociopath”.
Narcissistic personality disorder is characterised by exaggerated self-importance and diminished empathy for others; anti-social personality disorder is a disregard for right and wrong and an indifference to the rights and feelings of others, combined with a lack of remorse. We live in a hyper-medicalised society in which we know and use a superficial and often inaccurate but jargonised form of language to talk about mental health. We give ourselves a spurious weightiness when we describe fussy people as “a bit OCD” or the socially awkward as “on the spectrum”.schizophrenia
