We are in recession. It looks likely that SR Technics will close its doors as planned with no chance of someone buying the concern. The dole queues grow by the day. And yet every political poster shows the face of a smiling politician.
Are politicians another of those group of privileged people for whom the current economic crisis has little meaning?
In this inclement weather the posters on lamp posts are a real danger, especially for cyclists as they are constantly blowing off their fixtures.
While it is extremely dangerous right now to underestimate the importance of the democratic process, it seems there is little or no cut backs in the world of politics.
