… You understand, I have this horrible condition. I have had it for years.
I am incapable of seeing women as people. It used to be possible to get by in political life in this country with this condition. You would just move around a smoky room, speaking only to men, and you could have a nice career. But now, oh, these things, these things are everywhere. Holding elected office, performing jobs, playing soccer! You must understand my agony when I behold this. So much good meat, delicious meat, wonderful meat
It is with difficulty that I shamble into the company of people every day. It is with difficulty that I convince people that I am, after all, a human being, not a wild animal, the mad, helpless victim of an uncontrollable lust. I cannot, I dare not oh, it is with difficulty that I write these words now, knowing a woman may read them. The mere thought of my words moving before her unprotected eyes sends me into a frenzy. Ffffffft rrrrrrrrr graaarrrfll rrrrrr…

Electoral reform and the crisis of trust

Since the 1970 elections, it has almost become a tradition for the losing parties to reject the electoral results of every election. Even by-elections and Senate elections are not spared of this ritual of mistrust in the system. Though every opposition party has shown resentment towards the practice of stealing votes from the ballots, it was the PTI that took the frenzy to the next level.
