When French voters became disappointed from Francois Mitterrand, the new French newspaper, at the time, Libération, urged them to close their nose and vote.
It has to be said that simple voters – who have brought diverse people to power – often keep their mouth shut, full of disappointment and anger.
How can one vote for people who are proven to be swindlers? Or how can one vote for people to run ministries when they haven’t managed a corner shop?
The answers to these “riddles” are actually not that difficult.
Every voter must turn their face away from the embezzlers and crooks who seep into the State engine. These small- or big-time crooks are identified sooner or later and it is possible to isolate them. And have them stand trial, of course.
Voters are able to express their trust towards those political forces that differ from those soaked in mud.
These thoughts create and nurture the expectation that Greek voters will express their will freely and correctly.
The democratic majority of the people will voter correctly, even if some ballots have a stench of scandal!
