 Elections 2012

I rank among the people who can count on one hand how many times they took part in an elections. However, I am not a typical young voter. Actually, what does he look like? It is easy to say. He comes to his parents to ask who to vote. But I have my own opinion and it was my own decision in elections 2012.

  

I am an educated young man who is interested in what is happening in this country. The economic, political and social situation in Slovakia is not the same to me. That is why I try to read newspapers every day to have the newest information what is definitely the key factor to make my own opinions.

As far as elections 2012 are concerned, yes, I voted. My decision was easy: Because I am not the fan of populism, dilettantes and great mafia I voted the Right. Although I agree there are also the people stealing and cheating, I am convinced it is lesser evil than if I voted the Left. After all, the history shows us clearly the alternation of right wing and left wing governments: When the left wing government gave out everything what was possible, then it was necessary to have the right wing government to tie everything together and to improve the living conditions in the country (by taking, of course, not really popular measures).

 

I do not know what is going to happen to this country the next four years but I am sure it is going to be no laughing matter. In my opinion it is extremely dangerous to have a red government at the time of global financial crisis. Maybe if this country collapses one day, everyone will understand that the socialistic government was the worst thing which could strike the society. On the other hand, the government of Fico has an unique opportunity to prove rightists are all wrong.
