    It . . is taken from the famous Dylan Thomas poem “Do not go gentle into that good night”, which is about death, yes. But I thought the word changes made it more relevant to politics, not really a doom-y thing. Just, like, catchy.

      Yes, I’m def not denying that!
      I just noted what my immediate association was - that it is about making the most of a hopeless situation without changing the result, just ones dignity & resolve before that inevitable, same, unchanged result (in contrast with elections very much being about the result and change after/because of that).

      Don’t think anything of it, it’s just me.
