What did the AFC give up?   

 

There is no way that the AFC would have ever contributed 40% of the coalition votes, yet they got 40% of the cabinet and just under 40% of the MP seats.

 

Even when Moses tried to have the MONC he needed APNU to support him, lacking power on his own.  Now if Granger had said, no and continued to demand LGE, where would the AFC be?

 

APNU saved the AFC from the fate of the UF had they run on their own and ended up with only 7 seats.

 

It is obvious during the campaign that the AFC lacked the infrastructure, or the boots on the ground to maount effective events.  Ditto on election day when APNU got its base out, and the PPP snatched back some of the votes lost to the AFC in 2011.

 

So what would the AFC have gotten on their own, and what have they given up?
