How Much Does A Half Cost

Neither favor nor against. Quite the contrary! Ash Statues

To me, democracy is an abuse of statistics . And I do not think it has any value. (...) Why assume that most people understand about politics? The truth is they do not understand, and left to be fooled by a cult of scoundrels, who are usually national politicians. These gentlemen who are spreading their portrait, making promises, sometimes threats, bribing, in short.
Jorge Luis Borges (link to the full interview)

Looking at regional and municipal elections in Catalonia and Barcelona, \u200b\u200bI have the same feeling I had in Colombia when I decided how to vote. A feeling that ultimately, with the exception of the last presidential election, has led me to vote no "for" as advocated by the democratic system, but "to prevent" or, worst of all "vote against of ". Based on this fact, I ranked the candidates for public office in the follows: Candidate

• utopian: it proposes to build the ideal world forgetting of social reality.
• candidate with political vocation but not only defends radical ideas, but extremists "I think we can be radical (Mandela, Gandhi) but without being an extremist (Tea Party, Plataforma per Catalunya). Candidate
• without vocation and opportunistic. Usually sells ideas to ensure a "profound and radical change" of existing structures so as to leave things as they found them. Candidate
• living policy. The simple vile politician: defectors, corrupt and corrupting. Candidate
• profession. Its role in the lists is the same as when you buy milk at a supermarket: the more variety, more buyers. These characters rarely get to have an important figurative vote, but if, and perhaps too, in the exercise of power. They are responsible for distributing, sharing is a very aggressive word-contracts and jobs.

And the most dangerous: Candidate

• messianic. No visible equipment (He is the party), has a political vocation contagious is a person who takes advantage of opportunities and can unite to population against a single enemy, it feels like "an instrument of destiny", "victim of circumstances", or worse, an instrument of a Higher Being to fulfill his purpose on earth. This candidate debate on emotions (usually fear) and not on ideas (or used to stir up feelings.) In summary, we have a media success candidate, dogmatic and emotional, because it come together the show, beliefs and feelings . An ideal candidate for today's information overload overwhelms us like a thick fog that prevents us from seeing (a) reality.

*** Personally, I like everything in this space, I think the best candidate is one who has been "former candidate" and better yet the "Expolit" that is, the better politician, is often the Expolit (do not know if because I feel more safe or because the practice politician has done better). That's why I propose a program financed by funds from the UN of "foreign practices" for those elected to public office . This form is sent abroad to the winner of the popular and democratic elections to implement its policies elsewhere, and so we have a Expolit return, a person who has already lived power and the loneliness of power. Once back, he is made responsible official. In this way, the program will produce candidates more responsible and more thoughtful voters harmless. Political guaranteed to be Expolit.
