Month: October 2012

Fascinating country.  Open people, not what one would have expected. And very interesting meetings.  I just missed going around freely in the town/country.

There is a very simple and effective reform to change elections and democracy all over the world.
And the most interesting point is that this reform can be implemented by anyone and do not need long negotiations among parties or interminable procedures in parliamentary committees.
One just has to vote for a woman.
That may change parliaments and might change our democracy.
I know, being a woman is not a guarantee of making things better. And not all women are the same.
But men had their chances, and did not do very well.
Tomorrow I will go to the polling stations and I will vote for as many women as I can indicate in the ballot. As I did since my first vote, many years ago.

Of course, they gave it to Kissinger too.

But it is quite a satisfaction, anyway.
