| A posting by Mahmood at Mahmood's Den: Watch'em Sweat! Sun, 09 Jan 2005 07:47:56 2006 is oh so close I could almost smell it! Why, You ask? Elections of course! The time to boot out all of the jokers in parliament and hopefully replace them with better people who won't chase capital away from the island, who will recognise terrorists and call them as such, who won't object to Nancy Ajram and create riots, who won't object to staging a play [arabic] because its name has the word "Falujah" in it. And to back all that up? The Chamber of Commerce and Industry, awakening from a deep slumber shook by Farouq Al-Moayyed put the ante of BD 1 million as cash prizes [arabic] to who they choose to run for parliament with a good economic agenda! That by itself got our dear MPs to shit bricks, the first of which actually had a heart attack a couple of nights ago and had to be hospitalised. While we wish him a very speedy recovery and Insha'Allah a very long and fruitful life, we will be happy to see the back of him, and his ilk in order to make way for people who care about this country and not use the parliament as their personal pulpit to restrict personal freedoms, and who are not ineffectual fools in the face of continuous government harassment and coercion. All in all, the past few days especially seem to have been loaded with press releases, posturing, positioning and jostling in a clear indication that the election fever for 2006 has already started... Let the Games Begin! --- We're not the only ones gearing up.... |
