A strange thing about doing this job for a long time is you spend most of election night in a state of extreme tension going “god, Jim has lost his seat, how sad”. Then the next evening the new government makes a great and humane appointment to prisons minister you go “oh! I’m happy Jim lost”.

(You also spend it going “god, I really hope that doesn’t mean Bob holds his seat. What a shit he is”.)
