					<description><![CDATA[@Christopher B

&quot;the highly inteligent voters that voted for this new coalition prefer to vote from top to bottom, ma jmorrux jaghmlu xi mistake jahasra&quot;.

Interesting. The even more intelligent voters who elected two full quotas went one further... they failed to transfer enough votes between themselves to be able to get a better use of their ballot. Must be all that earlier talk warning against wasting votes...

What a messy use of votes for representation.]]></description>

Talking about names! Roberta Metsola Tedesco Triccas, Roberta MTT for short. She lost out on a lot of votes because of that bombastic list of surnames. Roberta just Roberta Metsola will suit you much better and will be more well received.]]></description>
