Who cares? If you were able to watch it, you probably need a rethink about your state of mind and perhaps should consider counselling. I tried to do my civic duty by tuning in. I lasted almost thirty seconds watching the highly affectatious introduction from the arm-waving host with the terrible diction before kicking the can down the road. I decided my personal emotional well-being would be better served by reading about it later rather than letting it mess with my blood pressure. I wasn’t too keen to watch the two leaders either, to be honest. I think both of them are borderline useless, but somehow was hoping for a miracle. Turns out I was wise as the overall reaction seems to be that it was indeed a complete waste of time.
If this is the best we have on offer to lead the country, we really won’t be seeing a significant change after the election other than in personnel. Different faces, same garbage done slightly differently. Maybe an improvement in money management but unless there is some kind of epiphany in the leadership, it will be just more of the same.
