He doesn't care. He knows they're screwed at the next GE. He already has cushy corporate gigs lined up for after. Just like Blair did, who's now rolling in mint. They are all corporate stooges, they do their bidding. And will be handsomely rewarded.

The problem with doing this is that these people will then see themselves as being even more important, with the right to do what they want in urban spaces.
