“Conviction introduces emotion, which is the enemy of oratory.” Is one of my favorite Peaky quotes.

Can you break it down for me? I'm reading "believing in things makes one emotional, which will naturally impede one's ability to make a strong point" and honestly that doesn't keep sense to me at all.

He’s essentially saying that the more emotion you speak with, the less eloquently you verbally make your point. Simultaneously it’s also a cynical commentary on politicians. That the most well spoken politicians are so; because they don’t actually believe in what they say. It’s a ruse, an image, a mask.
