Example Sentence: For now, we are consigned to government by an incompetent and unscrupulous gaggle (unethical gang) of politicians. They will continue to wreak damage our country can ill afford. But in the wake of their eventual defeat there surely lies a better, brighter future for Britain that will one day come to pass.
