Glad to say I avoided the wall to wall election coverage last night. I
put TV1 on for my better half (who likes the Law and Order genre of
shows whether new or repeats). I mucked about with computer oriented
house-keeping.
The outcome was pretty well prescribed in advance,
although it appears the pundits mis-read the depth of the swings against
the government. Why do they get so much air-time on the various media
forms? Probably because the whole political arena is now treated and
played out like a sporting event (or game of chance) which might amuse a
large audience who, sadly, may have nothing better to occupy their
attention(?)
Whatever, let's hope there can now be 3 years of
earnest and productive work by politicians of all persuasions instead of
the destructive narcissism so predominant in the recent past.
Not holding my breath tho'!
