English term or phrase: venal cynicism
"It sounds as if Robert, so often hailed as a champion of the new faith, were offering to return England to the old in return for Phillip's support for the marriage. This had often been seen as proof of his vela cynicism - proof that he was a turncoat, like his father"

Kombinuję z zamienieniem przymiotnika na rzeczownik, ponieważ to nieco upraszcza sprawę. Myślałam też o "politycznym cyniźmie", ale nie wiem czy moja licentia translatica pokrywa takie słowne zabiegi (które jednak dużo zmieniają).
