12th Before the election I said that of I lose I will say,'The voters have spoken, the bastards,
'. In the event I said, 'Only 30%+ bothered to vote and those who did failed to all vote for the three candidates from the same party'. Later I perceived the providence of God saving me from a Tory part fast departing from conservatism over sexuality. I joined the lost cause of the CPA. A lost cause because most electors will not agree with the idea of a Christian party. Those who do are politically inexperience and not united.
