If you took any of the choices and see them doing what you should have known they would do, don't criticise them then. You enabled them to powers to do what they do.
If you legitimise the system, you have given up the legitimacy to criticise it if it just does what you had to expect it would do. You are an accomplice, then.
And if you expected it to do something else, than you cannot be helped, and maybe you should not legitimise it. EVERYbody today could and should know what to expect of politicians.
Interesting demoscopic finding first published around two weeks ago: the structure of non-voters has changed, and now include more private businessmen and more self-employed members of the middle class then ever before. Reasons given: a growing disillusionising about lacking abilities and freedoms of politics to act on behalf of the people. A growing number of people think poltiicians do not act on their behalf, but in explicit violation of people'S will (which is fact, btw.). A general feeling of uneasiness about the political going is wide-spread and growing and includes practically all social classes, but the educated middle class and the independent small business class grow faster in size than the other groups. Before the elections started, demoscopes expected the highest number of non-voters ever. It has constantly grown over the past elections.
People learn. Slowly, but they do.
