posted (July 22, 2015)

And while the VIP can hold forth for hours at press conferences with the media as their captive audience, you may have noticed that they don't do so well at the polls.

Patrick Rogers - Member, VIP

"I've been asked that a lot of times that, why doesn't VIP settle back and be king maker because unno no serious bout win an election. The bottom line is brothers and sisters that if you're going to change, you can't change from within."
