Roeland and all Assembly members,

  Roeland, I share you opinion the Elisabet's performance ha at least
been "Muddied" as you put it.  I can agree however that Harald

not a mandate of the participants.  Members need to make
this choice by legitimate vote, which is quite a bit different
from what has transpired here....
