A tugboat captain once told me that when he was first promoted he worried about the new responsibilities his role would entail, so he asked the retiring skipper how to deal with them.
The old hand's advice... if it answer isn't obvious. answer questions he's asked alternately 'yes' and 'no':
"Carrots are cheap, shall I buy a sack?" -- Yes.
"Should I grease the anchor windlass?" -- Not today.
...Etc.
I guess it works for politics too!
