Cleanse yourselves
This is what PF knows best. How to self destruct. They don’t need any external help to light the fuse.
Every PF official is an incendiary bomb, ready to torch the party.
Expulsions are the lazy man’s way out. PF needs sober minds to resolve their complex issues. Unfortunately, there are no sober minds. Just a collection of individuals who react in knee jerk fashion.
