Out with the old, in with the new

 There are too many elections all across the world, that took place this year. And most have the same result - throw out the current government and bring in a new one. It does not matter if it is right wing, left wing, pro-rich, pro-poor. Just kick out the old government. 

So people all over, are frustrated with inflation, unemployment, poor infrastructure and lack of accountability of their governments. And they hope (a faint hope)  that the other party they are voting to power may some how be a better one. Even a tiny bit better. 

So the winner is not left or right, but anti-incumbency.

Then what did happen in our good old country? Why didn't we kick out the incumbent government? But the numbers tell us that people were not happy with incumbent government. 

Is this change, the change people want and change people brought in is any good for the society? It is a little bit good - because the governments, and the politicians will have to be more careful. They must have realized that populism will not always pay. And they can't fool the electorate all the time with propaganda. 

Now they will at least have to pretend to care for the people. They will have to fight for their survival, by doing some good to the people.

Enanteera?
