EC's PR disaster

Our Election Commission had been put in the dock by our united opposition (300 plus MPs marching to the EC's door) and I am mystified by how badly it is handling the crisis. Like, why so defensive and skittish?

Rewinding to roughly a month ago, I am sure the couple now known for all eternity as the Coldplay concert cheaters has wondered a million times since the kiss camera picked them out on that fateful night how their lives would have played out if they had managed to keep their heads in that moment. Instead of ducking and turning, what if they had stayed relaxed, even smiled and waved at the camera while casually shifting into a more platonic, socially irreproachable hug? Would Chris Martin still have been prompted to make that damning 'having an affair' remark? Would every jobless person on the internet have immediately made it his/her holy mission to image search and identify them on the spot? Would he still have a job and would she still have blessed anonymity? Probably yes.
