Letter addressed to Jude, dated August 12th.

I saw that you are running for Minister.

I suppose it is a nature of all mothers to feel proud when we see our children attempt such feats, even if we know that they are not likely to succeed.

Oh, I do not wish to speak ill to you my Jude, I just truly do not think that our world is ready to change towards the direction you want it to. I suppose it is a pity that Magical Britain does not have a political system that would allow for more voices to be heard, with a parliament and parties of all sorts. I do think that it is important for all opinions to be heard, even the worst ones for at least we know who is telling them. It is far more dangerous for some voices to linger in the shadows.

I support of course your zealousness in wanting to make the world a better place, but I hope you can understand my position if I am unable to support you politically — not that anyone would care to ask a widow anyway.

In any case, I will wish you good luck and if you are elected then that is what the people wanted and that is the basis of democracy, if we hope to have any.


Kind regards,
Your Mama
