Posted: Sat May 02, 2015 7:22 pmPolitics is to drill hard planks, slowly and with a strong arm, with passion and prudence at the same time.
(My own translation: Here is the original German:)
Die Politik bedeutet ein starkes langsames Bohren von harten Brettern mit Leidenschaft und Augenmaß zugleich.

Thanks! I enjoyed voting. Hopefully the "jockalypse" that the Tories are so afraid of is now underway.
My guess, Henri Bergson, wasn't serious by the way - it was a subtle Monty Python hint that I had no idea:

He, never having watched any election coverage and unable to understand English, found it only mildly funny. I predicted to him that this was going to change.
