How would you feel if your preferred political party was predicted to lose by a large margin in an upcoming election?
@9PT62SC3 days3D
Devastated, as the present PM hasn't been allowed to prove his worth. He is hav8ng to feal with the fall out of his predecessors and that has not been taken into account. It isn't a fair situation.

Should personal beliefs and behaviors, such as gambling, affect a politician's career or how they are viewed by the public?
@9PT73ML3 days3D
It should, but that would be for the news outlets to decide.
