I believe that government candidates are also people with feelings. Being ordinary men, they think the same as most others do- they want the people they voted for be honest and sincere with their electorate. Only having been chosen as a high rank society, they forget about their previous willingness concerning " being in the lime-light in the matter of displaying each step these people take in their new job". They start thinking how better they can hide everything they are involved in ( especially their illegal deeds) and want to be in a shadow, because they think it is better if simple people do not know much.
I also believe that if one doesn't know something, he/she sleeps better! But I am sure that right now, I want them to hold conferences and answer the media and the public. They have chosen this path, they wanted to be sitting "above the salt" and telling everyone how good they are and will be strongly struggling for our rights!
They must be responsible for everything they are doing and telling! And we must be ready to hear unpleasant things from them, in particular, how much money we still need to finish improving the conditions of life.
Surely, their private life is much more interesting for people than all dull statistics which they are always ready to share with us, knowing that we do not understand anything in those numbers (they are actually doing it on purpose-wanting to show that they are proffies, we are not).
Dears, you have to understand that we are not so stupid as you might think of us! We understand that the major number of you have come to power only to get rich and feel safe.
But it is an illusion! You will never be free there, on the top. You will always be watched and envied! Now you live there, we are here, and there are lifetime bridges between us. We will never understand each other because since the time you have been 'chosen', we are on different coasts called lives.
You are the only ones who need all these conferences and media. People understand it well!
You are the only ones who want to show that you are doing something for the better of the country.
My country starts in my home, with my dear people. I understand that I am also responsible for the better future of my country by voting for someone and I will always do it with only best intentions to get a better life and peaceful sky over our heads. But I I will definitely watch these shows with you having only one motivation, to talk to television and just laugh at you, understanding that you might laugh at us too.
