Voting upsidedown om Nov. 22nd?

This rather ambigious title should not be interpreted literally of course, but refers to an initiative by BNN broadcast to vote for the candidate that is last (or almost last) on the candidate list of his/her politic party. In case you had the patience to follow the political debates on TV and radio and listen to the so-called leaders, you may have noticed that there is nothing new to be heard compared to the first statements they have made when the campaign started. Prime minister Balkenende is still bragging about the achievements he made during the past years, Bos wants the (rich) elderly to pay more taxes and Rutte wants to terminate all types of social income for young people of 27 and younger. So, a student who achieves his master degree by let's say 23 can't get a social income anymore until (s)he enters her/his first job. It's easy to say to either take education or to get a job. Else you won't have any income. The oneliners in which these young adults are literally called children who have to work on their personal development or else they will become social outcasts with no chances on the labour market are really too naive and shocking to hear. Wasn't it Mark Rutte himself who took 7 years to finish his study? Nowadays the students have to do it in 4, maybe 5 years. The political leaders strive for polarisation, using populistic oneliners, looking for as much conflict and disagreement with their opponents as possible, with the one and sole goal of gaining electoral advantage. Therefore, I support the upsidedown initiative (http://www.ondersteboven.nl/index.php). It's my true believe that the people who don't get all the media attention are still authentic in their ideas, their believes and their ambition to create a better society. Their discussions are still about the things that matter to us, to the citizens, and less about how to gain as much power as possible. It's just a matter of days (3 to be exactly) before the political leaders I am writing about, will 'forget' their promises in order to form a new coalition. Nevertheless, the elections do have an interesting aspect: the results may be more differentiated than ever, which will cause that a workable coalition will be difficult to form, if possible at all.
