You may not hate Crabby's victory personally, but it is easy to get in the mood. Imagine this...
In your country's political party there is an independent candidate who is a real arsehole and everybody hates his guts. Now, this guy is now a hundred and five years old, and has been running in every election since he was eighteen, and he has never received a single vote from anybody, mainly because everybody knows he is a fucking idiot who couldn't even run a laundromat (or even spell it properly) let alone govern a country. However, one year, the president says, "Shit, this guy's been running for so long, let's give him a term!" He gets in, and the first thing he does is pass a law that everyone has to talk, walk, and dress like him.
