"How can someone born in France represent us? Maxime running for Minister has to be some sort of continental plot."

"Never mind Picardy's views on werewolves — he's far too busy researching them to be in charge of the Ministry. If you ask him about education, he'll probably find a way to make it about lycanthropy."

"I think that Miss Whitledge is only running for Minister to get attention from her brother - you do know they have a problematic relationship, right? This is what happens when children are orphaned."

Prewett's been alive more than half a century and hasn't even found a desperate woman who will have him. Why should the whole of Magical Britain be any less choosy?

"Wright doesn't spend enough time with women of good repute to relate to them — even if he supports their right to vote. I'm skeptical."

"I for one think it's weird that so many men from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement are running, especially right after Ross was Minister — do you think that department is trying to control the rest of the Ministry overmuch? It's not like they're particularly successful."

"Prewett has been single for a very long time, and Picardy's been widowed for ages. I don't want to be crude, but do you think they're actually confirmed bachelors? It's not like Picardy has many children."

"Miss Whitledge and Mr. Wright are the same, really — children who did not have enough paternal discipline and are running for Minister so they can access their inheritances without progressive guilt."

"Mr. Cornelius Flint was seen dancing with Miss Seneca Lestrange at her family's latest ball, he was seen speaking to her all through Mrs. Emilia Wright's Academic Salon, and now Witch Weekly is reporting he saved her life during the dragon attack? It seems Mr. Flint may end up married before his elder brother as surely a courtship is blooming between him and Miss Lestrange."

Did you see Miss Whitledge at that vigil of hers? She looked positively exhausted! Do you think she's slept at all since the dragon attack? A young lady shouldn't work so hard. She didn't seem to mind though.
