We've got a Puritan in charge, and he's calling all the shots - mostly because he's desperate to keep hold of the middle class votes.
What he doesn't see is that the middle - class voters don't want a "crime free" society.
They just want a "outside influences free" back yard, where the crime belongs to, and is committed by, people in some town somewhere else. Not near their "respectable" neighbourhoods.
But where will they go now when they want to do their own swinging thing and BDSM parties?
I don't think they honestly thought this through.
Any of them.
Let's watch the chaos unfold in their midst. I'll get the marshmallows.
