Orla is a conservative, but she's very glad her husband is a liberal. How come?? | ||

So she has someone to argue with? If he were a conservative, would she be unhappy? If she were a liberal, would she want her husband to be a conservative? Is her husband glad he is a liberal? Is he glad she is a tory? Conservative/Liberal as in political alignment? Or actually working for that specific government party? Is she kind of passivly glad all the time that he is a liberal? Or does some event make her glad at one particular time? | ||

Is she very competitive? Is this related to the result of an event? or the action of an event? Would this work if either one was in favour of labour? | ||

Would something bad have happened to her husband had he not bee a liberal? Some sort of persecution against liberals relevant? If Orla were a liberal, would she still be glad her husband was a liberal? If she were completely apathetic towards politics, would she still be glad her husbad was a liberal? | ||

I meant some sort of persecution against non-liberals, but appear to have gotten lucky  Did something good happen to her husband because he was a liberal? Did something good happen to her? Is there any particular aspect of his being a liberal that is relevant? Was he a "self-professed" liberal? relevant? Was he registered as a liberal (is that possible? I don't quite understand USian voting systems) relevant? Is it relevant where this happened? US? Europe? Africa? Americas? Asia? Oceania? When? 20th Century? 19th? 18th? 17th? AD? BC? Either of these relevant to any greater degree of accuracy? | ||

Taxes relevant? Money relevant? Relevant whether the government consists of democrats or republicans? Would this work in every state? Is a specific law or regulation relevant? Momentary persecution of liberals relevant? Persecution of liberals in the past relevant? If they were not married, would she still be glad if her partner was a liberal? Is she was married to someone else who was also a liberal, would she still be glad? Is she the only one who is in this situation? Is the group of male married liberal US-citizens relevant? | ||

Hi Felicia Nimue So.. Orla is an anti-abortion-ish conservative? and she is married to a liberal abortion-performing doctor? and she is glad her husband is a liberal? could the puzzle also be stated as 'orla is glad her husband performs abortions'? does she wish him well? does she hope that harm will come to him? is she hoping that harm will come to him from an anti-abortion campaigner? would she still be glad if he gave up doing abortions? or if they moved to a country where it was less controversial to perform abortions? | ||

Ah, so she has fallen out with her husband? Does she want a divorce? Could it be that in normal circumstances she does not believe in divorce? Could she try to claim unreasonable behaviour if he carried out abortions? Is she hoping that he will leave the area as a result of the anti-abortionists' threats and she can claim desertion? | ||

Does she want to separate from her husband? Does she want him to die? Does she intend to kill him, and blame the animal rights protestors? (which would not be possible if he were the sort of doctor who didn't perform abortions) Is it relevant why she isn't happy being married to her husband? | ||

(which would not be possible if he were the sort of doctor who didn't perform abortions) You mean abortion protestors, don't you? The answer is yes Is it relevant why she isn't happy being married to her husband? no ****SPOILER ***** Orla ia anti-abortion but is glad her husband is pro--so pro that he performs them. She's planning to kill him & make it look as though right-to-lifers did it. Thanks for solving it, John, & please direct that razor-sharp lateral mind to my new puzzle at the bottom of the page |
