Still no president...

[vera_j]

I can´t help returning to this topic. Today our Parliament was supposed to elect new president. Instead of that we witness a kind of haggling, throwing insults at each other and making fools of all of us. It seems that a true purpose of this election is forgotten to personal interests or that of a political party. I am disgusted. I even think of an ancient method to let the rivals fight man-against-man... still better than THIS!

It hasn't got as bad as the Belgium situation yet. I think they've been trying for months to organise a government.

Really. I can see THIS works quite reliably all over the world :-)

Sounds like a normal day in parliament here,it sometimes seem that the only thing that they seem to agree on is something the rest of the country is against, like sending troops in to Iraq.

The more I see of presidential elections the surer I am that having an hereditary head of state who has no real power and an elected government we can get rid of every 4 years is the best way.

Ay, right, there is a legal party of monarchists, originally like a joke but they seem to get more ground - no wonder. You have got a point - long live the Premyslid dynasty - alas, all gone! Sorry, no Habsburgs no!:-)

The Windsors do have a gaggle of third generation princes and princes they might give you, some of them actually have experience of working for a living%)
