Proposer

To me, the most impressive bit of that appealing candidate was his proposer.

That is our noble council member.

In fact, I still remember quite well the two argued with each other when they were both running for the council seat a year ago.

But, as the old British sayings, there is no eternal enemy in politics.

And the reason is obvious ! Making friend with this representative of private doctors would help to establish another source of vote in the next election. You think their platforms are different ? (For example, I still remember our alumni is fighting for shorter working hour and more manpower in the public hospital.) It doesn't matter. After all, who would remember the platform of a candidate after the election ?

"Come on, that's politics !"

Quite true.

But that's also the rare occasion that I could distinguish an ingenious crook from a complete idiot.
