Nobody obeys court order. Who will come and invest his money when court gives its judgement and it will not be obeyed.

They ran away when the party needed them most. But I have stood and worked for this party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have nowhere to run to because I take it personal that the party should not die.
