    Well we all know what happened the last time there was a national socialist party, perhaps he was really dyslexic
    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

        Voters in his area must feel good if that is true.

          I don't think the voters can take any blame if someone chooses that path otherwise you would get candidates threatening to kill themselves if you don't vote for them.

            "Some reports" - citation needed. And although the police may use the phrase "no suspicious circumstances" when dealing with an obvious suicide, that is not the only context in which they use it: they also use it, for example, when somebody has clearly died of an accident such as falling downstairs, or of obvious natural causes. It means what it says, and no more.

                That would lead to lowest voting turnout ever :-p
