I woke up with my blood boiling (not the Spring's effects ;-)... ----> Politics!

For the first round to elect the next President, it's been almost a disaster!
The best scores are for Chirac (the conservative Party) and lepen (extreme-right party)!
What a shock for all of us, what a shock for the socialists who are disappearing from the race!

It's not dramatic though, because on the second round, Chirac will probably win with 80% of the votes against 20% for lepen.
Democracy is safe.

Why did the extreme-right got such a score? Because all the campaign has focused on security, media are very responsible in that. Second reason, quite many people from the 2 traditionnal parties (conservative/socialist) did not think important enough to go to vote.

And that makes me want to bite... all these people who do not care about politics, even less about voting!
30% did not come to vote. Now they complain that an extreme-right party marks a good score. It is almost the fault of people who 'do not care' about politics!
It's so irresponsible! (sowwwy, but that makes me maaad! :P)
Does it require so much effort to take 15 minutes to go voting, hm?!! Arggggg (my blood is now at about 100°C, still rising up ;-)... Voting is the only little power in the hand of people, the only opportunity we have to change things or to prevent extreme parties to get too important.
But people did not care..

...till today!
That's somehow a very good lesson; nobody expected that it could happen, everybody said 'my vote would not change anything anyway'. Hah!
(shaking head)

Now I hope we'll all be voting when we're given the opportunity...
...and well, lepen should enjoy this little victory, cause in less than 3 weeks, his political life will be simply over!

So many emotions for a Monday morning!! Rilly!
:-)))
