One after the other political parties are announcing their manifestos, albeit with nothing new, it’s almost a reworded, slightly changed in order enlistment of promises people have heard for decades and have continued to believe in them. Yet realistically, the problems that the contestant vow to fix are very much realistic and so are the solutions to them but then certainly something is still missing to leave the gap between identification of a problem and the and implementation of its solution.
Maybe it’s the incompetency of the chosen representatives, of one, of some or of all that the bigger picture remains bleak and not so good to look at. The system and the governments have worked like this for decades and it can said that the machinery of the institutions have rather caught the rust in the process that is if not impossible is hard enough to be removed off.
