But since the economic crash of 1989, their policies clearly haven't worked to revive the former economic glory. And plus having read about their policies regarding human rights and poverty, they overall really couldn't give a shite about people (except the rich).
So I think giving the other political party a chance was a wise decision. I'm just hoping they will live up to most of their promises, and this decision won't be a regret.
