Re: Congratulations !! Ladies and Gents (4.00 / 4)

Well done! I know nothing of the people you have elected/appointed to office and I have NO DESIRE to know anything about them. They are either your problem or your asset. At least it's NOT BLAIR and you may hoist a beer/glass of wine in the comfort that you may have played a part in Blair's failure. If that is TRUE, then can ET parlay that influence into something tangible for the future? Who of significance was paying attention to ET?

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Re: Congratulations !! Ladies and Gents (4.00 / 4)

Probably no one of great significance. But we just about helped sneak into the media the meme that Blair was a most unpopular choice.

Re: A bit vague, afew my friend (4.00 / 2)

Yes, that's all we managed to do. The petition fitted into a narrative some media were willing to go with. So the notion that Blair riled people up got out there and became part of the mix.
