I'm all for coalition. Single party rule isn't desirable IMO.
Indeed. Personally, I don't trust any of the fuckers even slightly. At least with a coalition, there'll be one party in power restraining the other party in power. It won't make 'em honest. Not even god could do that, since corruption is a logically necessary property of being a politician. But maybe with them looking over each other's shoulders we'll see a little bit less flagrant dishonesty.
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
