I'll probably be calling the election sometime tomorrow, considering we've already got one more vote than last time, even with two more people excluded from voting.
Mr Sharp, I speak in purely a metaphorical sense. As individuals the senator for Maine is no more accountable to the constituents of Hawaii, or of China for that matter, than the Governor of California is to the people of Washington state, yet as a body, congressmen have a moral responsibility to the people of the world to act in the best interests of them all, not just the parochial and selfish interests of the people of these United States.
On a slightly different note, I have to voice my concern at the policies of Walter Mandrake. Though I have great respect for those willing to give their life in our defence, as I am far too 'lily-livered' to fight myself, I cannot advocate in any way inciting rebellion in a country that we are attempting to preach peace to. Doesn't this sort of spying against countries that we are in peaceful relations with hark back to the travesties of the dark ages? It is up to us in the free world to advocate liberalisation to the governments through our merits, not fund dissident organisations that would not only trigger further repression but also jeopardise any progress our diplomats are making. You are not accountable to the electorate, Mr Mandrake, but we in politics are for our views, surely your allies in Washington can convey this to you. I wonder how you could justify to the electorate your profound wish to avoid war at all costs yet bring the world closer to it through your irresponsible proposal of mass intrigue.
