@Qldaah Oh yes. Vital to have economically reckless candidates, radical candidates AND terminally incompetent candidates.

I'd have a bit more sympathy if they had said "Yes, we fucked up badly, and we apologise, especially to the voters and the candidates. Could you please perhaps see your way clear to allowing us, in this instance, some more time to fix our mistake?"

Instead they have DEMANDED more time. As if it is their right to screw up without penalty.

Well, fuck 'em.

And just to be clear, I would want the exact same thing had it been any other party.
