An uphill battle

It was always going to be an uphill battle. Its like running a hundred metre race where your opponent is starting from the fifty metre mark while you start from zero. That's how to describe the recent election. They have control over everything, the daily papers, television channels, radio, government department, money. Add the gerrymandering which they have been doing all these years, you know the fight was never going to be fair. Yet they lose. I say lose because in terms of votes, they only manage 46%, a very poor return indeed. Its a sure sign of the popularity of this government.
