lets face it, I wasn't even trying to hide my bias, this thread was to vent frustration, over what I view as being a very terrible, unfortunate and hopeless situation.

That doesn't explain why a large number all of a sudden do not support his latest tactics.

Yes, its too bad independents couldn't win, sadly the system more or less prevents that possibility 47 times out of 48. A more euro voting method would allow greater numbers of parties. That view is wrong though, because obviously there are only liberals who are liberal on every regard or conservatives who are conservative on every regard.

If you say so it must be true, irrefutable and without bias.
My side hasn't yet won more than a couple elections though over a period of decades and I'm not sure they are really left in every way.

I will anyway, but I only post polls when I see something that will be severely damaging to many people and am frustrated by the general inability of anyone remotely salt of the earth or normal to be successful within politics.
The people that most belong in politics would never run.
