10. Believe it or not
not all of our policy is formed by questionnaires. Especially given the nature of this issue. We have to be conscious of the "sore loser" label that will quickly get applied. We can't hammer on it unless we have absolutely irrefutable evidence that voter fraud happened, especially since we have no power to unilaterally make the changes necessary in the first place. There is no point at all in taking such a huge risk, one that would endanger our ENTIRE agenda, when the chances of success really aren't all that high at present.

I know pragmatism is frowned upon in many DU circles, but thankfully, our leaders know better.
