An editorial in the Grandburg Daily Herald claims that Grandburg' s voters would generally welcome the defeat of the political party now in control of the Grandburg City Council
The editorial bases its claim on a recent survey that found that 59 percent of Grandburg' s registered voters think that the party will definitely be out of power after next year' s city council elections
An increase in ill-feeling toward a political party that is in power can reasonably be expected to result in a corresponding increase in support for rival political parties.
