| Message | Voters were confused, and had been waiting in vain for a realistic option. It is normal that they get excited about a new party, full of fanciful ideas of how things might be different... ooc: just think of how people voted for Obama in the US, thinking he would bring "change". Instead he is the same as Bush, only more so ;) p.s. where are you from? |
