For God's sake, Nick, what he's saying is pretty obvious. One of the the two parties won the election. That means it gets a chance to enact its policies. One of the two parties _lost_ the agenda. That means it loses the chance to enact its agenda. That is why people want to win elections. It would be a strange electoral process in which the _losers_ of the election are the ones who end up running the government. In general, the only people who suddenly come to that belief are the ones who supported the party that lost the election. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
