| Message | "Do the Bloc MIDs flip coins to determine how they vote? Does it depend on the day? Or simply how they feel getting out of bed in the morning? They vote against, they vote for, they have no understanding of how or why they vote the way they do. God knows why they do it. Is it some misguided notion of thinking they are appealing to the voters, electoral disaster of a populist party they are, while failing to understand the deeper intricacies of how such a thing is done? If so, they are committing yet another blunder." |
