Nope. There are so many threads in this forum that it's hard to find one's bearings. I'm sorry.

Do you mean that the entire forum is hard to find your way around, or the IGD board in particular?

Then, dear moderator, relocate this thread, or tell me how to do it by myself (as far as I'm authorized.)

Ah, but this is not his board, but mine. Anyways, I guess I'll allow democracy to reign for a change.

And he was a cocaine-user while he was in Cabinet, which sounds bad in the mind of voters.

Love the litotes there.

Oh, I'm not denying than him being gay probably had a role in his bad result, but I don't see any litote in my comment.

I'm a bit tired so used the wrong word Smiley

I just liked the almost rhetorical understatement (whether intentional or not) of 'sounds bad' in that context.

Well, he is a leftwinger because that is just his position in the framework of wings and groups inside the SPD. And that is what counts politically.

Yeah, that's the way this things work. A nice historical example from over here would be the fact that on most issues, Gaitskell was clearly to the left of Wilson, but to have argued that at the time... lol.
