Defeat of Common Sense

HDZ might be the party of smooth operators, but spin is definitely not their forte.

While commenting his party's disastrous defeat in Metković (Metkovic), Ratko Maček (Ratko Macek), HDZ official spokeperson said "that HDZ didn't lose any vote in Metković." According to Maček, "90 % of HDZ electorate simply voted for another party".

One of HDZ local leaders was more explicit. "This wasn't the defeat of HDZ. This was defeat of common sense."
