the great sage confucious once said "the journey of a thousand miles begins with the 1st step".... from the whole basket of poisoned marshmallows, 1 managed to detox himself, find his spine & walk out on the vote for the toilet paper; is somewhat a good sign that the poison is wearing off.
come 2016, when pinkie or constitution dictates that parliament dissolves, maybe more of the poisoned marshmallows will tng-sar & abstain from contesting, and then the bai-lian-jiao will have trouble parachuting all their reserve super-subs in time. and then, 1st time in political history, the bai-lan-jiao will self snook themselves in failing to field ample contestants in GRCs.
and the electorates will have a good laugh of a lifetime
