Artists like cats; soldiers like dogs.

The gigantic Gaul derided the Roman soldiers as a band of pigmies.

People are free to campaign and they will be free to vote. There won't be any soldiers, you know, at the queues. Anyone who has the right to vote is free to go and cast his vote anywhere in his own area, in his own constituency.
