The PN is beleaguered enough. It lacks a soul, it sounds rudderless and its stalwart followers have either morphed into switchers or gone AWOL. Its finances are in a shambles and its future a misty blue.

Accusations and more accusations of misappropriated oil deals, direct orders and damnable deals to the same sad faces fly out all the time. Government is even more condemnable—if they have so much damnable stuff let them proceed to accuse, arraign, and if need be put behind bars or bar from public office. Otherwise it’s all piffle and silly puffery—accusations which sound like pure fabrication to alienate the public or the few who still care enough to notice.

So now we have it loud and clear—politics is pure garbage and the politicos running the show or who were running the show are just garbage-dispensers.

But another strange thing has just slapped me in the face. The PN has just pulled an interesting statistic out of its headless hat. Apparently, the party spent over €2 million on the election it lost so handsomely. If I were king at the Stamperija I would call for an immediate inquiry. To have paid so much money on such a terrible campaign sounds to me as if some direct orders were handed out and all was done with no idea how to run a campaign. The crassness of the campaign makes it sound terribly like the PN had no wish to win and only waited for that sublime moment it would lose and announce its own hara-kiri.

Woe is us electors, faced with two parties of such strange composition: one full of smugness and deceit and the other one fast becoming a lost cause.
