If the DP is such an empty shell, then why do you even bother taxing
your brain with such an ingenious wordplay? Isn't that an overkill?
It's obvious to me that the DP isn't an "empty shell." It's a
coalition of political organizations and interest groups.
Is it too taxing on the brain to realize that the absence of an
"inside" doesn't make something an "empty shell" (a shell with an
"empty" inside)? No. The absence of an inside makes it a less-than-
three dimensional object. That is, one with absolutely no tangible
reality. Crooks and swindlers can form all the "coalitions" they want
without ever amounting to anything like a political party.
