“You were doing just fine, sweeties, shedding your clothes and scorching the screen. Why the sudden interest in politics? Can’t move a step without your air-conditioned vehicles, you really think you can walk around door to door, asking for votes?

You were doing fine with your ‘guides and mentors’, where’s this sudden passion for social service coming from? This was all we needed, really. To actually have to see these people in Parliament. Just think about those who have gone before them!”
