Voters in the DHRA election woke this morning to a changed political landscape, a breath of fresh air and a brave new world, as 14 years of embarrassing centre-right kakistocracy* came to an end and a new centre-left kakistocracy slunk into power. Dismissing the gloom of the past as "just a sad and dispiriting memory" new PM [Photocopying Monitor] Sir Kia Snatchback said "A new dawn has arrived and a spirit of unbridled optimism is abroad. This result - in which we secured almost 38% of the vote in a staggering 24% turnout - shows that the public has renewed its faith in party politics and can now look forward to life under the government it richly deserves."
* kakistocracy (/kækɪˈstɒkrəsi/, /kækɪsˈtɒ-/): a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. The word was coined as early as the seventeenth century and is derived from two Greek words, kakistos (κάκιστος; worst) and kratos (κράτος; rule), with a literal meaning of government by the worst people. Time will tell whether the new worst people are better or worse than the old worst people who were in many people's estimation the worst worst people since the worst worst people elected previously. [cf D:Nightmare: "Things can only get worst", one of the all time great party political rallying songs]. On an optimistic note, though they took control of the cloakroom facilities, the Illib Non-Dems did not secure a majority on the Consenting Adults Water-Sports working party.
Outgoing PM Wishy Notso-Soonback said it was a sad day for the country and a poor reward for many hardworking DHRA officials who, he admitted, had failed.*

Reflecting the new upbeat mood, weather forcasters have predicted a deep depression with heavy cloud dominating the country for months if not years to come.
