Candidates ignore issues that led to our ruin

CONSIDERING the direct role that corruption and cronyism – and the incompetence that are their signature – have played in bringing economic ruin, it’s depressing that so few candidates seem to be making these issues a priority in the lead-up to the local and European elections.

Do the mainstream political parties not yet understand what is causing so much public apathy about politics and politicians?

Unlike those who are responsible for the decay we see in public life, it is the majority of innocent voters who are paying dearly for it.
