All successful Governmental executives become Machiavels in office if they are not already corrupted to the values of the system on arrival. To fail in your Machiavellian studies is to fail to execute influence successfully. To call a newcomer virgin, innocent or politically chaste is not pejorative, but election must surely be followed by congress, or it is never consummated.
To have observed that another antonym of virgin is corrupt implies a discussion of perspective on political activism. There are those who advocate change from without - they usually lack influence or connections and fail. There are those who advocate change from within - they are usually corrupted to the values of the system before understanding it sufficiently to effect improvement. This means that politically, change is hard.
That change is hard by definition is not a bad thing; inertia argues against precipitous decisions. Lax applying liberals can do less harm that way, and close applying conservatives are not much impeded.
