Friz's opponent was Xahar. When he had a credible opponent he lost. 'Nuff said.
Even with a credible opponent, he made it into a runoff. Without the party machine behind him, he would've lost 1-7, not tied 4-4 & lost 3-5 in a runoff. You should take credit for your own party's discipline.
Why does everyone forget that I got to a runoff, too?
Yes, you got to a run-off. And before it was over you revealed your true nature and lost in a landslide.
Look at the votes. How many of the Friz votes were due to anything I did?
