Yeah, the people who dont know jack.

If they got arrested because they said a "improper words", or for being in a group of 3 (in the streets), and beaten up and thrown in jail, i think they'd reconsider. If you recall your history, the country was totally black out of the world due to the effective censure.

One interesting thing, the US still filters the incoming information in various ways, the people get a "distilled" version of the worlds events, and sometimes , a little to the side.

Anyway, having a prime minister with a country in financial havok and making some tough calls, always looses voters. A good PM sees when the need to make those unpopular measures arrives and he chooses to go with them. Even if it costs him the next election.

I voted PS , but im not that unhappy with PSD+PP government. Alot of what happened is not the executive's fault, they dont control the price of brent, neither directly control the confidence of the buyers, or the rules the UE has imposed on all countries due to the Euro Zone. Or even the declaration of war on iraq. What the government's doing is damage control. Of course there are always decisions better than others...

I heard the other day an old man say "This government suck, I'm glad i didnt vote." I refrained myself from saying "If you didnt vote, than you gave your vote to the ones that did, so shut up."

Nobody cares much about voting anymore, and it keeps getting worse because it's on sundays. But they always complaint when thing dont go their way. But the people put them there, those politicians, with those ideals, and beliefs... and we're stuck with them for 2 more years.
