Refusing to resign after historic implosion at polls confirms and affirms Aubrey Norton’s character not only as malevolent but as ill-suited for public office.
He has hijacked the Party through what they lacked – unscrupulousness, amorality- and now barricades himself in place by refusing to do what he once termed the decent thing for Hoyte to do - resign.
We expect a higher level of campaigning, one that rises above the overdone wine downs and the tantalize and the hints at raunchiness. Campaigns are events at which politicians solicit the vote not expect it; which would require them to make a substantial case to both their base and to others who may be won over.
