Moments
Polling day
Calmly on trek;
Popular mandate
~~~~~~~~~
Above the noise
People cast votes;
Landslide win
~~~~~~~~~
So many rallies
Mind reading stances;
Noisy opposition
~~~~~~~~~
Incumbent party
Massive support;
New era begins
~~~~~~~~~
The people's choice:
Savvy polling;
Status quo majority
~~~~~~~~~
Helming the day
Familiar comfort;
Watershed moments
~~~~~~~~~
Sweeping away
83 from 89;
Sweet victory won
~~~~~~~~~
Consultative way
Better approach;
Empathy shows
~~~~~~~~~
Big time gains
Resounding mandate;
Business as usual
~~~~~~~~~
So here we go
Undisputed territory;
One-party majority
~~~~~~~~~
Surging ahead
New government term;
Secure city-state posture
~~~~~~~~~
Early morning
Post-election briefing;
Eager media update
~~~~~~~~~
Sense of relief
Same old, same new;
Change of guards
~~~~~~~~~
We can all rest
No strange bedfellows;
Familiar statesmen
