We can expect more of this kind of petulant reaction as the election campaign progresses and they get more & more wound up about the way their assumed landslide victory nationwide has slipped from their grasp.Dominicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545428530989218019.post-17963144829694274372010-03-30T14:48:14.331+01:002010-03-30T14:48:14.331+01:00Was going to post a comment after reading a truly ...Was going to post a comment after reading a truly nasty little bit of opportunism.
