Är det hit vi är på väg ?

Jag hittade i Tages Anzeiger en intressant artikel om de senaste årens politiska utveckling i Islands huvudstad Reykjavik: http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/ausland/europa/More-punk-less-hell/story/10069405.

”What were the conservative voters of Reykjavik thinking? On May 27, 2010, they did something that people usually only talk about: they took power out of the hands of politicians and gave it to amateurs.

A glance at the most important campaign promises of the Best Party is more than enough to highlight the audacity of Reykjavik’s voters. They were promised free towels at swimming pools, a polar bear for the zoo, the import of Jews, «so that someone who understands something about economics finally comes to Iceland», a drug-free parliament by 2020, inaction («we’ve worked hard all our lives and want to take a well-paid four-year break now»), Disneyland with free weekly passes for the unemployed («where they can have themselves photographed with Goofy»), greater understanding for the rural population («every Icelandic farmer should be able to take a sheep to a hotel for free»), free bus tickets. And all this with the caveat: «We can promise more than any other party because we will break every campaign promise.»

När jag läste artikeln tänkte jag dock mest på vårt eget land….Är det hit vi är på väg ?
