no subject
No one had to vote at all.

You're right. [Because Molly is! He won't pretend otherwise.] I don't know what they were thinking.
[...Well, okay, he does, probably. But it was short-sighted, in his opinion. Playing by the rules isn't his style unless he has good reason to do so.]
It's all a farce.

It's all a bit too heavy, unreal still.]
So what now?

Now, we keep searching for answers.
