And fundamentally, the way they go about appointing people, the way the whole thing appears to be kind of a coronation, it's It's very sad because, you know, this should be, you know, this could be a, you know, really wonderful, you know, there are lots of aspects. I mean, yeah, by European standards, I'd lean politically right. Okay. You know, I'll be honest about that by Euro standards.

Now, I don't know about you. It's not a holiday if you know which day of the week it is, in my definition. Okay.
