Coup in progress.
NOTHING happens without a reason.
Why now and by whom?
My Poppa always said that, “Intrigue only begat intrigue.” but here goes.
by the oblabla camp to retain power by a newly selected puppet?
Create a crisis or a loss and then fix it with a new candidate? At this stage who would they run that could overcome the damage done? Well, try this. obalbla can’t stage a reversal to what he has done... it is unbelievable even to his acolytes. Bring in a new person to loudly proclaim a new and improved counter vision at just the right moment from just the right dramatic pulpit. The acolytes already want to believe the left, they already want to vote left, they already want to retain the power they must now suspect / expect to lose. Throw them a life ring and they will take it... the swing vote will swing and take the bait and keep the left in power.
by the business camp for reasons I have previously outlined?
by the right for obvious reasons?
