polar bears vs politicians

what do you look for before you cast your vote??
the newspapers have been filled to the brim with news of the coming election that reading them has been a breeze. i skip them.

promises are printed and accusations made. past and present histories are published for all to see. politicians making their rounds to get to know the people in their constituents. what bull shit. these people hibernate most of the time and now they come out. even polar bears have shorter hibernation period.
do you know or have you seen your area's representative? the so-called voice who will listen to your grouses and try to solve them?

the promises that have been outlined do not titillate me at all. all i want are transparency in the government and the implementation of real meritocracy. but who am i to say anything? i have the right to vote but i will not be able to practise it this time around. i will definitely not miss this chance if not for the trip to gold coast. but for those of you who are voting, i am sure you know who you want to vote for. remember, every vote counts. do not say, 'cheh, this party will definitely win even without my vote or regardless of who turn up.'
this is wrong...you do make a change!

for now, i just have to bear with the sightings of flags and banners everywhere. isn't this a form of vandalism? so much resources and money are wasted. do get rid of them properly. i hope i don't see them when i come back from holidays.
hmmm....i am escaping this election.
