Finally!!, a politician that keeps his promises

This may be a personal choice; however, I myself would rather see Mr. Hide run through the streets in his all-together. Much more the appealing sort than Mr. Locke.


Now that I think on it, maybe I would be better off not seeing either of them this way, the body paint just covers over the issues.

Isn't it significant that it's the loser who is keeping his campaign promises? We have no idea whether the winner will keep his. That's somewhat analogous to the current situation in the USA -- the losers are often more trustworthy than the ones we chose to elect for some reason.

It's always easy to be honest once you have lost. The promises are smaller and involve less political interaction. This is similar to past political leaders and election losers who can (and will) point out the failures of whoever is in charge at the time. Answers are easy to have when there is nobody to really respond to. It would be much more interesting if there were a way in which we could have two alternate timelines...one in which Hide rules and one in which Locke rules. In those circumstances one could find out how each man really reacted in genuine circumstances when life was truly set before them and needed to be orchestrated in a manner in which the best possible outcome for all was the goal.
