:00:14. > :00:16.Hello, welcome to Wednesday In Parliament,
:00:17. > :00:21.our look at the best of the day in the Commons and the Lords.
:00:22. > :00:23.On this programme, with hours to go before polling across the UK,
:00:24. > :00:26.the political temperature rises at PMQs.
:00:27. > :00:30.David Cameron issues a challenge to Jeremy Corbyn.
:00:31. > :00:33.He must stand up and say they are not his friends.
:00:34. > :00:35.Anyone that commits racist acts or is anti-Semitic
:00:36. > :00:42.is not a friend of mine, it is very clear about that.
:00:43. > :00:44.Foreign correspondents describe their fears
:00:45. > :00:52.Given how the fight will go, both from the defenders
:00:53. > :00:55.and the attackers, Mosul, I believe, will be pretty bloody awful.
:00:56. > :01:02.And, harmless joke or a tasteless insult?
:01:03. > :01:04.The story of the German comedian gets an airing
:01:05. > :01:08.Chancellor Merkel, under pressure from President Erdogan,
:01:09. > :01:11.has agreed that this prosecution can go forward because she is desperate
:01:12. > :01:16.But first, it is only a matter of hours before the polling stations
:01:17. > :01:20.open in elections of different sorts around the United Kingdom.
:01:21. > :01:24.One issue has loomed large in the last fortnight
:01:25. > :01:27.of campaigning, namely claims and counterclaims of anti-Semitism
:01:28. > :01:39.The MP, Naz Shah, was suspended from the party last week, saying
:01:40. > :01:44.on Facebook that Israel should be moved to America.
:01:45. > :01:46.In the Commons, at Prime Minister's Questions,
:01:47. > :01:49.David Cameron was keen to keep the focus on the issue.
:01:50. > :01:52.He repeatedly pressed Jeremy Corbyn over remarks the Labour Leader had
:01:53. > :01:55.once made about the militant Islamic groups Hezbollah and Hamas.
:01:56. > :01:57.First, Jeremy Corbyn spoke about commemorations about to take
:01:58. > :02:01.place for Israel's Day of Remembrance for Holocaust victims.
:02:02. > :02:05.I hope there is an agreement right across all parts of this House
:02:06. > :02:09.in sending our best wishes to those commemorating the occasion
:02:10. > :02:13.and sending a very clear statement that anti-Semitism has no place
:02:14. > :02:20.in our society whatsoever and we all have a duty to oppose it.
:02:21. > :02:23.Let me join the right honourable gentleman in saying, yes, of course,
:02:24. > :02:25.we should always support Holocaust Memorial Day,
:02:26. > :02:26.whether it is here in the United Kingdom,
:02:27. > :02:28.where we have a number of commemorations,
:02:29. > :02:33.But I am going to press him on this point because he did say this.
:02:34. > :02:37.He said, it will be my pleasure and my honour to host an event
:02:38. > :02:41.in parliament where our friends from Hezbollah will be speaking.
:02:42. > :02:43.I have also invited friends from Hamas to come
:02:44. > :02:48.Hamas and Hezbollah believe in killing Jews.
:02:49. > :02:50.Not just in Israel, but around the world.
:02:51. > :02:55.Because if he wants to clear up the problem of anti-Semitism
:02:56. > :02:58.in the Labour Party, now is a good time to start.
:02:59. > :03:12.Mr Speaker, I have made it very clear, Labour is an anti-racist
:03:13. > :03:17.party and there is no place for anti-Semitism within it.
:03:18. > :03:21.We have suspended any members that have undertaken any anti-Semitic
:03:22. > :03:23.activities or work or statements and have established an enquiry
:03:24. > :03:37.The points he was making earlier relate to a discussion I was hosting
:03:38. > :03:42.in order to try to promote a peace process and it was not an approval
:03:43. > :03:44.of those organisations, I absolutely do not approve
:03:45. > :03:51.But I am afraid he is going to have to do this one more time.
:03:52. > :03:55.He referred to Hamas and Hezbollah as has friends.
:03:56. > :03:58.Now, he needs to withdraw that remark.
:03:59. > :04:02.Are they your friends or are they not?
:04:03. > :04:05.Because those organisations, in their constitutions,
:04:06. > :04:09.believe in persecuting and killing Jews.
:04:10. > :04:13.They are anti-Semitic organisations, they are racist organisations,
:04:14. > :04:15.he must stand up and say they are not his friends.
:04:16. > :04:24.Mr Speaker, obviously anyone that commits racist acts
:04:25. > :04:26.or is anti-Semitic is not a friend of mine.
:04:27. > :04:34.And, at this point, Jeremy Corbyn moved to the battle between two
:04:35. > :04:37.of the candidates in this week's election for who will succeed
:04:38. > :04:42.Those candidates being Zac Goldsmith for the Tories and
:04:43. > :04:49.The Labour leader accused the Conservatives of
:04:50. > :04:51.smearing Sadiq Khan, who is the MP for Tooting.
:04:52. > :04:57.I would make this argument, as I said before at this
:04:58. > :04:59.Despatch Box, we are not responsible for everything someone says
:05:00. > :05:04.We cannot control everyone who appears in a picture
:05:05. > :05:06.but there is a pattern of behaviour with the honourable
:05:07. > :05:15.Let me tell him, he shared a platform with Sajeel Shahid,
:05:16. > :05:17.the man who trained the ringleader of the 7/7 attacks and accused
:05:18. > :05:22.the United States of bringing 9/11 on themselves.
:05:23. > :05:25.He shared a platform with an extremist who called
:05:26. > :05:31.When this was put to the honourable member for Tooting,
:05:32. > :05:38.He described it as mere flowery language.
:05:39. > :05:41.If he wants to know why he has a problem with anti-Semitism,
:05:42. > :05:44.it is because his candidates share platform after platform
:05:45. > :05:46.after a platform with extremists and anti-Semites and then
:05:47. > :05:51.One more time, say you withdraw the remark about Hamas
:05:52. > :06:00.Mr Speaker, last week the Prime Minister tried,
:06:01. > :06:07.as he often does, to smear my friend, the member for Tooting
:06:08. > :06:12.by his association with Solomon Ghani.
:06:13. > :06:15.It turns out that Mr Ghani is actually an active
:06:16. > :06:21.Who has shared platforms with the honourable
:06:22. > :06:28.He also should reflect on the words said by Lord Lansley some years ago
:06:29. > :06:33.that racism was endemic within his party.
:06:34. > :06:36.We have set up a commission of enquiry, I suggest he might think
:06:37. > :06:43.David Cameron had with him remarks made by Solomon Ghani.
:06:44. > :06:46.Do you want to know the views of the person that your
:06:47. > :06:53.leader has just quoted? He described women...
:06:54. > :06:56.The honourable member for Islington might be interested in this.
:06:57. > :06:59.He described women as subservient to men.
:07:00. > :07:05.He said that homosexuality was an unnatural act.
:07:06. > :07:10.He stood on a platform with people who wanted an Islamic State.
:07:11. > :07:12.That is why his attempts to deal with anti-Semitism are utterly
:07:13. > :07:18.Because he won't even condemn people who sit on platforms
:07:19. > :07:22.with people like that. Jeremy Corbyn.
:07:23. > :07:26.Mr Speaker, I did point out to the Prime Minister,
:07:27. > :07:28.I was actually trying to help him, that the gentleman concerned
:07:29. > :07:37.So maybe he would care to think about that.
:07:38. > :07:41.He might also consider that Shazia Awan, a former Conservative
:07:42. > :07:44.parliamentary candidate, said this of the Tory mayoral campaign.
:07:45. > :07:50."A lifelong Tory voter and ex-candidate, I am ashamed
:07:51. > :08:03.The Prime Minister, this Government, has cut income tax for the richest.
:08:04. > :08:05.Cut capital-gains tax, cut corporation tax
:08:06. > :08:11.At every turn, they make the wrong choices.
:08:12. > :08:16.Tomorrow people can make their own choices.
:08:17. > :08:21.About the crisis of social care, the housing crisis in this country.
:08:22. > :08:25.The unprecedented cuts to local councils in areas of greatest need.
:08:26. > :08:27.The cuts to further education, taking opportunities away
:08:28. > :08:36.The choices have been made, they cut taxes for the rich.
:08:37. > :08:39.We want to ensure that there is proper taxation to ensure
:08:40. > :08:42.there are decent services for the rest.
:08:43. > :08:47.He's right, tomorrow is about choices.
:08:48. > :08:50.You can choose a party that is on the side of security
:08:51. > :08:55.That wants to make sure there are more jobs,
:08:56. > :08:58.better pay, lower taxes, good schools for your children,
:08:59. > :09:02.a seven-day NHS there for you when you need it.
:09:03. > :09:05.Or the other choice, you can back a party that puts
:09:06. > :09:11.That is utterly incapable of providing the leadership
:09:12. > :09:13.your local council needs or our country needs.
:09:14. > :09:18.Well, a little later at Prime Minister's Questions,
:09:19. > :09:21.David Cameron disclosed that ministers are in talks
:09:22. > :09:25.with the Save The Children charity about what more Britain can do
:09:26. > :09:28.to help unaccompanied child refugees from Syria.
:09:29. > :09:31.There are been threats of a Conservative rebellion over
:09:32. > :09:34.the refusal, up to now, of the Government to take child
:09:35. > :09:39.So far, the Government has only been willing to take children
:09:40. > :09:47.The SNP's leader at Westminster quoted Sir Eric Reich,
:09:48. > :09:49.chairman of the Association of Jewish Refugees Kindertransport
:09:50. > :09:55.He wrote, the echoes of the past haunt many of my
:09:56. > :09:58.Whose fate similarly rested with members
:09:59. > :10:04.I feel it is incumbent on us to once again demonstrate our compassion
:10:05. > :10:09.and human kindness to provide sanctuary to those in need.
:10:10. > :10:12.Why has it taken so long, and the threat of a parliamentary
:10:13. > :10:15.defeat, for the Prime Minister to begin changing his mind?
:10:16. > :10:21.We are already taking child migrants in Europe with a direct family
:10:22. > :10:25.connection to the UK and we will speed that up.
:10:26. > :10:29.I am also talking to Save The Children to see what we can
:10:30. > :10:31.do more, particularly with children who came here before the EU
:10:32. > :10:37.Because, as I say again, what I don't want us to do
:10:38. > :10:40.is to take steps that will encourage people to make this
:10:41. > :10:46.Otherwise, our actions, however well-meaning they will be,
:10:47. > :10:48.could result in more people dying, rather than more people
:10:49. > :10:56.Mr Speaker, last week I accused the Prime Minister of walking
:10:57. > :11:00.by on the other side when he stoutly defended his then policy opposing
:11:01. > :11:07.further help from unaccompanied refugee children in Europe.
:11:08. > :11:10.So if what we are hearing now is indeed the beginnings
:11:11. > :11:13.of a U-turn, I very much welcome it, as I'm sure the members
:11:14. > :11:18.May I encourage him to think more about what can be done given,
:11:19. > :11:20.of course, that the Kindertransport helped 10,000 children from Europe?
:11:21. > :11:25.Will I asked the Prime Minister, finally, to take the opportunity
:11:26. > :11:28.to thank Lord Alf Dubs and all campaigners who have worked
:11:29. > :11:31.so hard for the UK to live up to the example and the spirit
:11:32. > :11:38.I certainly think that all those people deserve recognition
:11:39. > :11:41.for the work they have done to put this issue so squarely
:11:42. > :11:47.But let me just say again, I do reject the comparison
:11:48. > :11:52.For this reason, I would argue that what we are doing, primarily,
:11:53. > :11:54.taking children from the region, taking vulnerable people
:11:55. > :11:58.from the camps, going to the neighbouring countries
:11:59. > :12:02.and taking people into our country, housing them, clothing,
:12:03. > :12:05.feeding them, making sure they can have a good life here,
:12:06. > :12:09.that to me is like the Kindertransport.
:12:10. > :12:14.To say that the Kindertransport is taking today children from France
:12:15. > :12:16.or Germany or Italy, safe countries that are democracies,
:12:17. > :12:20.I think that is an insult to those countries.
:12:21. > :12:24.As I have said, because of the steps we are taking, it will not be
:12:25. > :12:27.necessary to send the amendment back to the other place,
:12:28. > :12:30.the amendment doesn't now mentioned a number of people.
:12:31. > :12:33.We are now going to go round the local authorities and see
:12:34. > :12:37.what more we can do but let's stick to the principle that we should not
:12:38. > :12:41.And, outside the chamber, Downing Street explained that
:12:42. > :12:43.children registered in Greece, Italy or France, before
:12:44. > :12:46.the EU-Turkey deal was signed last month, would be
:12:47. > :12:55.Well, the Immigration Minister, James Brokenshire, said Britain
:12:56. > :12:59.is not bound to sign up to new EU rules on asylum seekers.
:13:00. > :13:01.The European Commission plans to alter what is called
:13:02. > :13:08.These state that asylum applications should be considered in the first
:13:09. > :13:12.country in the European union that a claimant reaches.
:13:13. > :13:14.The European Commission wants it changed so that the continent
:13:15. > :13:17.is better able to deal with a future refugee crisis.
:13:18. > :13:20.And to ease the burden on front line countries like Greece.
:13:21. > :13:27.Mr Brokenshire was answering an urgent question in the Commons.
:13:28. > :13:30.As the House will be aware, the UK has an opt-in to any EU
:13:31. > :13:33.proposals on justice and home affairs issues.
:13:34. > :13:36.It is not bound to sign up to the proposals the commission has
:13:37. > :13:38.published today and we will have three months to consider
:13:39. > :13:45.In practice, the Dublin Agreement is very far from perfect and the EU
:13:46. > :13:49.is desperate to find ways of evening out the strains of the large numbers
:13:50. > :13:51.of asylum seekers as well as not rocking the British boat
:13:52. > :13:56.Even the European Commission has acknowledged that the current Dublin
:13:57. > :13:59.system doesn't work, Germany has all but abandoned it
:14:00. > :14:04.and Greece has not abided by it apparently since 2011.
:14:05. > :14:07.In relation to the benefit, yes, we do see significant benefit
:14:08. > :14:11.from the existing Dublin regulations and, as I have indicated,
:14:12. > :14:20.we have sought to remove nearly 12,000 people from the UK to other
:14:21. > :14:24.EU member states over the last ten years, using that process.
:14:25. > :14:27.It is also clear we have got a keen national interest and a moral
:14:28. > :14:29.responsibility to ensure that effective systems are in place
:14:30. > :14:32.to tackle the worst humanitarian crisis in a decade in Europe.
:14:33. > :14:34.A humanitarian crisis on a scale that clearly needs
:14:35. > :14:44.It's clear the Dublin arrangements are not working on the ground.
:14:45. > :14:47.Dublin arrangements are not able to cope with the numbers
:14:48. > :14:50.and to process the claims the need to be processed.
:14:51. > :14:52.and to process the claims that need to be processed.
:14:53. > :14:55.We, Labour, have been calling for a reconsideration of how
:14:56. > :14:57.the Dublin arrangements actually work in practice for many months
:14:58. > :15:06.The Government, as ever, has been slow and reluctant to act,
:15:07. > :15:08.characterised by the involuntary appearance here today.
:15:09. > :15:11.The Government believes the long-standing principles
:15:12. > :15:13.at the heart of the Dublin system are the right ones.
:15:14. > :15:17.And it would be a major error to tear them up and replace them
:15:18. > :15:21.Dublin may not be operating as it should but that does
:15:22. > :15:25.not mean its principles are fundamentally flawed.
:15:26. > :15:28.The migrant crisis we face is our part of a crisis that affects
:15:29. > :15:30.every European Union member state and it requires
:15:31. > :15:39.It is a complete absurdity, first promulgated by Ukip,
:15:40. > :15:42.that somehow if we left the EU these people would no longer be
:15:43. > :15:51.I know the minister is very proud of his opt-in but,
:15:52. > :15:55.in reply for to the right honourable member for Rushcliffe,
:15:56. > :15:57.he seemed to agree that, in principle, the refugee crisis
:15:58. > :16:04.is a European crisis that requires collective action.
:16:05. > :16:06.Therefore, if we were having the Brokenshire regulations instead
:16:07. > :16:15.of the Dublin regulations, what exactly would they be?
:16:16. > :16:17.I'm very grateful to honourable gentleman for framing
:16:18. > :16:22.I think what it underlines is the need for each EU member state
:16:23. > :16:40.to play a part, which is precisely what the UK Government is doing.
:16:41. > :17:14.But first, it was a busy day in Parliament for David Cameron.
:17:15. > :17:22.It seems to me the right thing to do is to make sure that if there is a
:17:23. > :17:26.website, a government website, then it is not refreshed or updated
:17:27. > :17:33.during the period of purdah, but I would just ask whether it is right
:17:34. > :17:36.to take something down. It seems that is rather an extreme position
:17:37. > :17:47.but I want to understand your concerns about that. Well, in the
:17:48. > :17:52.case in 1937... Leaving a notice on a golf club notice board is a
:17:53. > :17:56.continuing at of publication. And in other more recent rulings, every
:17:57. > :18:01.time the server is hit by another request for a page that constitutes
:18:02. > :18:06.republication of the material. So I think you will find you cannot keep
:18:07. > :18:13.up that website. Well, we will look at our legal advice and respond to
:18:14. > :18:19.our letter -- your letter. If we can raise the funds, expect a writ.
:18:20. > :18:23.Moving on... The trade union Bill... LAUGHTER
:18:24. > :18:28.Better get back to the office fast, then! It seemed reasonable to me,
:18:29. > :18:32.taking down a website is like saying you have to remove other
:18:33. > :19:00.publications people might have from the government or whatever. Correct.
:19:01. > :19:08.I visited a girl's school that had been bombed on sports day in Aleppo.
:19:09. > :19:10.One bomb had hurled a girl against the wall
:19:11. > :19:13.and blasted, in black, her outline there, so there was just
:19:14. > :19:15.at the end of the school corridor the outline
:19:16. > :19:18.of a girl of about nine or ten years old, blasted, her silhouette,
:19:19. > :19:21.That sort of stuff happens the whole time.
:19:22. > :19:23.It is a terrible vision, it's very
:19:24. > :19:25.difficult to actually explain to people here because it is so
:19:26. > :19:39.And there was a warning worse. Come if no soul fell.
:19:40. > :19:41.We should also prepare ourselves for how bad Mosul will
:19:42. > :19:45.The word Stalingrad is banded around far too much by the
:19:46. > :19:48.media and elsewhere but Mosul really has the potential to be really quite
:19:49. > :19:54.catastrophic given how the fight will go,
:19:55. > :19:55.both from the defenders and
:19:56. > :20:12.Mosul will, I believe, be pretty bloody awful.
:20:13. > :20:15.Is it important in the fight against Isis to actually take
:20:16. > :20:20.One of the things that the Islamic State
:20:21. > :20:23.says is it is a state, its ideology is, we
:20:24. > :20:26.Other people have talked about a caliphate, doing
:20:27. > :20:28.something other, we have established a real Islamic State.
:20:29. > :20:30.This is a big ideological blow if that state goes
:20:31. > :20:34.They are different from other types of
:20:35. > :20:38.Secondly, it is important in terms of security, the
:20:39. > :20:41.terrorist attacks we have seen in Brussels, in Paris, potentially
:20:42. > :20:42.here, what makes them different from terrorist
:20:43. > :20:47.attacks we have seen in the past is they have the resources
:20:48. > :20:52.of what is a de facto organised state behind them.
:20:53. > :20:55.Do you think Russia's action has ensured that Assad is
:20:56. > :20:59.And should we accept that as the new norm and
:21:00. > :21:07.The evil genius of what Putin has done
:21:08. > :21:12.Once Assad cannot lose, eventually, the other side, I
:21:13. > :21:14.believe, it will filter down, and that means he cannot win.
:21:15. > :21:20.believe, it will filter down, and that means we cannot win.
:21:21. > :21:23.There was also evidence that they had approached the conflict in the
:21:24. > :21:25.wrong way. We had Egypt, we had
:21:26. > :21:27.Libya, two leaders had I think the political
:21:28. > :21:30.class looked at that, grandstanding, left,
:21:31. > :21:31.right and centre. Demanded President Assad should go,
:21:32. > :21:34.that put his back against the wall and gave him nowhere to go
:21:35. > :21:37.whatsoever and I think it was a mistake for us to be calling
:21:38. > :21:40.all the time go, go, go. It is a mistake we have been
:21:41. > :21:43.repeating for five, six We have now got ourselves
:21:44. > :21:46.into the position where we say, yeah, you could go, sort of, a bit,
:21:47. > :21:50.but not necessarily right now. Forgive me for the extended rant
:21:51. > :21:56.but it was a political mistake that the political class
:21:57. > :21:58.needs to think much harder about Do you really want to
:21:59. > :22:01.push this person into You have to keep talking to Russia
:22:02. > :22:07.and, as I was saying earlier, I think Russia and the significance
:22:08. > :22:09.of Russian relationship with Assad, there is a positive
:22:10. > :22:12.side to that in that of outside decisions
:22:13. > :22:28.in What I also want to say
:22:29. > :22:32.is that, regardless of outside decisions
:22:33. > :22:37.foreign policy, war is not something when it is that long-term and that
:22:38. > :22:40.intense that can just be turned off like a tap by outside powers.
:22:41. > :22:43.War is about what goes on on the street,
:22:44. > :22:46.what goes on in a village and what goes on in a valley.
:22:47. > :22:48.The emotions in this conflict are far hotter than
:22:49. > :22:50.can be doused by just some foreign policy decision.
:22:51. > :22:52.Now, a German comedian is being investigated by prosecutors
:22:53. > :22:55.after reading out an obscene poem on his TV show about
:22:56. > :23:03.Jan Boehmermann was aware that it included material that breaches
:23:04. > :23:05.a German law banning insulting remarks about representatives
:23:06. > :23:21.This man should perhaps be prosecuted for obscenity and it
:23:22. > :23:25.appears that Chancellor Merkel, under pressure from the president,
:23:26. > :23:29.has agreed that this prosecution can go forward because she is desperate
:23:30. > :23:37.for Turkish assistance on the migrant issue. Now, my lords... We
:23:38. > :23:41.are told we have great influence in the EU, so could Her Majesty's
:23:42. > :23:46.government use that great influence to insure this prosecution does not
:23:47. > :23:52.take place? Will tell Chancellor Merkel and the Germans to resist any
:23:53. > :23:57.pressure, to resist blackmail and not to kowtow to President Burda
:23:58. > :24:00.one, whose record on human rights and free speech is frankly
:24:01. > :24:09.lamentable? -- President erred again. It is ultimately for the
:24:10. > :24:13.people of Germany to implement and set their own laws and the
:24:14. > :24:17.Chancellor has referred his matter, as is proper, to the security of
:24:18. > :24:26.authorities for them to make the decision. The President of Turkey is
:24:27. > :24:35.using a sledgehammer to crush a comic. And in so doing and seeking
:24:36. > :24:41.to exert pressure upon Angela Merkel he is making it clear that he is
:24:42. > :24:47.presenting himself more, indeed, as the head of a caliphate, a medieval
:24:48. > :24:55.caliphate, rather than the leader of a modern country that is desperately
:24:56. > :25:01.aspiring to be a member of the EU. Now, is there too much academic
:25:02. > :25:04.pressure on young children? This week there has been a boycott of
:25:05. > :25:09.exams and the exams have been criticised forcing children to learn
:25:10. > :25:16.details of English grammar that only of detailed -- limited use. This
:25:17. > :25:19.point was distracted at PMQs. For the benefit of the House and ten
:25:20. > :25:25.and 11-year-olds up and down the country, will the Prime Minister
:25:26. > :25:29.explain what the past progressive tenses, will he differentiate
:25:30. > :25:36.between a coordinating conjunctive and his definition of a modal verb?
:25:37. > :25:42.The whole point of these changes is to make sure our children are better
:25:43. > :25:46.educated than we are. And that's why I'm delighted with three children at
:25:47. > :25:50.state schools going off to do these tests and I am delighted they are
:25:51. > :25:56.going to be. And finally an MP raise the case of
:25:57. > :26:00.his 100-year-old mother. Four years ago I asked my right honourable
:26:01. > :26:04.friend on behalf of my mother, Maud, in the EU referendum that the vote
:26:05. > :26:09.be brought forward because of her age. She was then 100. She now
:26:10. > :26:13.wishes to know if she needs to set a world record for longevity before
:26:14. > :26:24.Chilcott report is published! LAUGHTER
:26:25. > :26:29.I think I can reassure her that this summer she will have, I think, a
:26:30. > :26:33.double opportunity to deal with these things. A referendum on June
:26:34. > :26:38.the 23rd, and I'm sure the Chilcott report will, not too much longer
:26:39. > :26:44.after that. I rather imagine she will then want a backbench business
:26:45. > :26:49.committee debate on the matter! That is it from us. Join us for our
:26:50. > :26:56.next daily round-up and enjoy polling day. From me, goodbye.
