They seem to be able to speak, it seems to me that no one wants to hear what they are saying.

               But on a point of clarification, earlier in the thread I made a suggestion as to why I thought they may have gained votes, but I was informed by another poster that they actually lost vote, they just didn't lose as many votes as some of the other parties. Is that the case? If so, I wouldn't think they'd pose much of a threat.
