While we vote for a local representative, the reality is that we are voting for a particular party, it's leader, and all the baggage they can carry. At the moment, we are governed by Adolf Harper. I am certain that he will be setting up "work camps" any day now. I used to think I hated them all equally, but now I am finding that some of them are more equal than others in this department.
