...smallest seat in the country, Wentworth has become one of the Coalition's biggest headaches. Since Federation, Labor has never won the seat, and it isn't hard to see why. Dotted with galleries and boutiques, it contains many of Sydney's wealthiest suburbs and feels like Nohopeville for a party with working-class roots. But it's more complicated than that. A redistribution since the 2004 poll has given Labor a lift, as has a perception that the sitting Member, Malcolm Turnbull, is egregiously ambitious and opportunistic even by politicians' standards.

...this glorious day," Labor candidate George Newhouse says to Hawke, who has told the party he led to power in 1983 that he's ready to help any way he can. Already, it's dispatched him to numerous marginal electorates, including Prime Minister John Howard's seat of Bennelong.

Instead, these managers of political change end up drowning in their own privileges. Because the seat of power is segregated from the general life of the society (phone-calls and letters to Senators do not change this fact) and because the people do not participate directly in decision-making, pathologies and prejudices internal to the operation of power invariably emerge.History is replete with examples of this...
...wheels is being brought by Cabot’s most bad-ass senior, who has been using his mother’s fiery red motorized scooter to get to his LSAT classes. He’d offer you a ride, but his gf gets dibs on the back seat...One punch event went foul when the ladies organized an event in Boston that none of their under-21 punches could enter. After lounging outside for a while, everyone headed over to their favorite final club basement, which is where they really wanted to be anyways...Literal punches were thrown...
