These elections, instead of resolving the problems Slovenia has, both socially and economically and with the same old political guard controlling everything (left/right doesn't matter here), will bring nothing but problems. I wouldn't be any happier had the opposition won, the policies of all parties are more or less the same (cutting down on social rights, which to an extent is needed, but in such cuts it's always the poorest of the poor that pay the price, not those better off), so it's more of a general disappointment in Slovenians in general. Do I have to quote Cankar once more? Valets we were and valets we remain. On a bright note, Cankar did write down the one universal truth of democracy: "The nation will judge itself" (will write its own destiny) and has to live by its decisions, in this case, the election results.

Here's to a brighter tomorrow lads! Unfortunately I haven't seen it around in a while.
