Well Arledrian, I don't think it's about them being more determined, because however determined, one person only gets one vote, so it's not a matter of determinedness IMO.
However, believe it or not, I am happy that his party are carrying on, I oppose their views and what they stand for, but they are entitled to carry on, and I don't mind, since they are unlikely to get in.
That said, I offer condolences to those close to him, even though my views conflict, I wouldn't have wished death on this man.
It is indeed a grim day for the very backbone of democracy.
