We finish Chapter One. It Gets Worse. There are reasons to suppose that in late 1995 the Browne campaign was in a state of fiscal exigency, for good reason.

Greetings All, I am giving notice for the following Policy Manual amendments (9 in total, please see the attached PDF). Please note they have gone through extensive revisions, which is why they have the full endorsement of the LNC Chair, ExD, EPCC, SIC and Debbie Mason.
