My endorsement of Lord Voldemort

For too long the Ministry of Magic has been encroaching on the lives of wizards and witches. It seems like the Ministry has laws controlling every aspect of day to day life and departments for every little detail of the wizardering world. Everything from telling wizards how they should travel to what potion ingredients they can buy, the Ministry sticks its Hagrid size nose into your business.

In recent years the situation has become worse. The amount of laws being passed, with limited consultation, has multiplied at an alarming rate. Furthermore the autocratic control over the news services should alarm anyone who believes in free speech or fairness. The Ministry feels that it can rule by arbitrary decrees and that the people are nothing but obedient sheep.

Luckily for us the Ministry is wrong. There is at least one brave soul who has the will and the strength to stand up against the Minister and his gang of oligarchic rulers.

I speak of course of the famous Lord Voldemort.

Of course Mr. Riddle and I do not see eye to eye on every issue. For example I strongly disagree with his pro-murder position, but I am a political pragmatist. I realize that we are not all going to agree on all issues. If we want to take on the Ministry we are going to have to build a broad based inclusive movement.

This is a time for solidarity; to look for common ground among the Ministry’s opponents. Focus on what unites rather than divide. Once that battle is over we can then turn to other issues but only after we have gotten rid of the autocratic Ministry of Magic.

It is for this reason that I have decided to enlist in the Death Eaters and support Lord Voldemort’s bid for power.
