Quote

"the apparatchiks, the number-crunchers, the people who apply the slide
rules to the marginals."

Not a stellar quote I'm sorry. It was in reference to the election loss of
the Aust Labor Party at the federal election last weekend and in context was
a discussion about how our political leaders have lost touch with the people
and instead are focusing on the party workers who examine the polling
results for every possible variation caused by policy announcements, etc.
