Don't worry about replying to that last e-mail I sent you about this very subject. With what you've outlined, the situation that will most likely develop is even worse than I'd imagined.

I was horrified that they won as many seats as they did in the election. Howard must be rubbing his hands with glee

Oh no! Now I've mentioned sedition, I've probably breached the secrecy laws . . . and you can be held incommunicado for 14 days because you might know something about my seditious activities. Oh woe.
