“Where no wood is, the fire goes out; so where there is no tale bearer, the strife ceaseth.”
Bible

“It's unclear who the standard bearer of such a move would be as long as the official opposition and the renegade coalition faction are distinct electoral vehicles and thus do not have a single candidate.

We're seen as the bearers of goods and support, but we're also sometimes being put in a corner of institutions that perhaps carry more power than it should and perhaps sometimes even refused from asking or recommending governments and agencies to take measures that are not always seen as being fair or bringing the greatest advantage to the countries we're dealing with.”
Christiaan Poortman

Emery Holmik
“He's just been performing well. Just like always. He's the standard bearer.”
