Dear Miron
Hi. Thanks for the posts, v. informative.
Although, you can understand a Minister endorsing his PM, and later stating a different preference once a leadership spill is formally announced.
Arrogance is unpleasant, but maybe smugness or complacency is just being relaxed and comfortable, as opposed to being angsty; the contrast between 'Capricornia' and 'Red Sails', perhaps?
