MY ATTITUDE TOWARDS
POLITICS
Looking back on the last election, I can say that I don't
like politics at all and I won't come out or speak out for
anyone of them any more. The only thing they do (wheth
er on TV or in public) is to side against their opponents,
trying to move in on them, or talk them down in the
debate. To rattle off some nonsense that people are lap
ping up or cut the government up in the press. All the
same, the moment the election turns out, they are voted
and sworn in, they are allowed to bail out and reckon with
no people any more. Nevertheless, sometimes they are
voted out and forced out of their office when the press
gets something on them and puts out materials about their
being paid off and things. So I don't like it.
