Well it looks like the Republicans are going to have an easy ride for the next couple of years, with a reasonably good win in last night’s mid-terms. Let’s just hope that the Democrats can come up with a credible candidate in time for the election in 2004. Isn’t it about now that those with Presidential ambitions start to “step up to the plate”?
On BBC4 I taped Journeys with George last night and also watched an entertaining documentary entitled Last Party 2000 with actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, trying to discover why there’s so much political apathy today. A fair question to ask when last night, there were turnouts in the 30-40% marks. People just don’t seem to care about their democratic rights for which people died. My view is that you have no right to complain if you didn’t vote.
