No, not on you, Deputy Speaker! I tried to show this to my kids, aged 12 and 10, and my daughter said to me: 'Oh, do the good always win? Sometimes the bad win in life.' I said: 'That's true. Sometimes the bad win. But you know what? If you stick to your principles—if you stand fast to what you really believe in and you work hard and express that compassion and kindness in everything you do and help others—more often than not the good will win.' I think that's very true.
