There is a fourth option for number three. You see the opportunity to get rid of two kittens at once and suggest that your agent, who is a trained vet/butcher, do the operation for free. When it fails, you let out the one tear and pat the former owner on the shoulder.

I mean, let’s face it, if they were stupid enough to think that a head transplant was somehow going to improve their kitten they really aren’t worth vote chasing anyway – they will either not vote, or they are the sort who will tell every party they are going to vote for them and then collapse in confusion when they get the piece of papers with all the nameses on and a pencil into a funny curtained vandalized wooden telephone booth.

I am sure all those Socialists and Social Democrats would love to deal with cynics in the Scythian manner, thus clearing the way for the Emperor to parade in his dazzling new policy clothes for all to see and marvel at.

Charlotte,

You will never be selected for election and you will never be allowed to hold power, more’s the pity, because you see the world too clearly. (And I’m notionally well to the Right of you but I like your style and your thinking)

“Cynic, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, rather than as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic’s eyes to improve his vision.” – Ambrose Bierce, “The Devil’s Dictionary”.

You are a truly wicked woman, Charlotte Gore. I have betrayed kittens everywhere by laughing till I cried over point 3.

Hmmm yes that’s something I hadn’t considered. It’s probably the easiest way to become a Minister, but you won’t get to be PM.

If you are mediocre, being dirty is probably an asset. Whips will get you promoted knowing they can rattle those skeletons to get you to do what they want – makes you an ideal seat-warmer.

Whips cannot digest integrity – you will be spat out.
