BBC radio will be putting events 'under the microscope' as they unfold. But, I have to admit I had my fill of politics during the run up to the General Election.joanygeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05250522334758277619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963465075819902876.post-59338956513083930772010-11-02T03:12:00.398+01:002010-11-02T03:12:00.398+01:00I agree with them.

It's nice to hear what 'the other half' of the world thinks!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474928571871603804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963465075819902876.post-61905517847447668472010-11-02T02:15:38.824+01:002010-11-02T02:15:38.824+01:00I was in rural India during one of their major ele...I was in rural India during one of their major elections. This must be 10 or 15 years ago that I'm talking about. There were parades with the major local candidates dressed up like various gods and prophets. Many carried large sacks of coins and tossed the coins at the crowd. There was very little info given as to platform planks, goals, etc. One candidate was an unknown but he became the most popular candidate after a parade because people were impressed by his wife's elaborate costume of a river goddess. He won.<br /><br />At one of the few speeches, the candidate whose party later won the national election yelled things at the crowd like "You stupid people. You know nothing. You must listen to educated people like me and not your stupid friends and relatives who didn't go to university as I did." He won, btw.<br /><br />My point is that there is weirdness in politics everywhere.ari_1965https://www.blogger.com/profile/00184925473746713999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963465075819902876.post-21217173122272620692010-11-01T20:46:17.989+01:002010-11-01T20:46:17.989+01:00Think you and I are of the same mind Jan
