No idea

[Filuwaúrdjan]

haha this should be fun. Al's tactics are totally going to alienate the Liberal base.

Hey, I said that I would run the Liberals in a certain way because it would be interesting to do so, not because I thought it would help me win

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I've now gone negative as well

[Filuwaúrdjan]

har har. You've always gone negative.

Not compared to everyone else and only in response (until now) to direct attacks

I'm not happy about the BQ dropping out; they are the third largest party in the House of Commons, not some fringe grouping.
Either we re-locate this to c.1988 or so, or someone gets hastily drafted in to lead them.
Or they could be done as some form of NPC.
