THE LAW OF POLITICAL ASSASSINATION

'...it's a sort of law, if you like, of political assassination that the person you hit should be a moderate - someone who holds the prospect of improvement rather than a hardliner. Hardliners are always the friends of extremists, moderates are their worst enemies.' 
Christopher Clark, 'Sarajevo' (Episode 1 of Month of Madness), BBC Radio 4, 23rd  June 2014.
