LETTER

Some help, please

 

I am sorry to be so naive, but I am registered to vote and do not have any indication of what the parties are proposing. Is it a secret? I can’t even interpret their logos – there’s no party name! I have been told there are actually 20+ parties in our election, yet we only hear of a few big ones, and even then we receive no information. Is this democracy? One party sent around a card, mostly a picture, but with some general statements which only made me wonder why they did not already do these few things since they’ve been in power for a lot of time.

Who are the other parties? Do they have candidates here, and what are they saying? The election bureau used to publish this information – party names and candidiates, at least. Was it already in your paper and I missed it? Was it on social media, which I don’t have time for? Do I not belong here? They certainly know me at tax time!
