Message | May we ask what that means? The SD does realize the elections are still some time away, right? Is this going to be another case where it will be claimed that since a large amount of votes was made in your favor, that will mean that everything should continue as it is? Perhaps a large amount of votes means that the electorate wishes for a continuation of the improvements? |
Date | 17:56:45, March 24, 2007 CET | From | Social Democrats | To | Debating the Truth in Journalism Act |
Message | Perhaps instead of the word elections, the word "voting procedure" would be more in order. In politics, nothing is sure until the day of the elections. We support this and we will vote in favour. |
