Wahl-o-mat. Stupid politics for a stupid people.

Voters not knowing what to vote or not - and why so! - should not even be allowed to vote. They are not qualified.

That in German media this is seriously sold as a tool to improve political awareness and education (amongst other the TV station RTL and the Federal Centre for Political education are patronising and advertising it, the latter authored it), tells something about the accelerating fall of public and general education levels and political culture.

If somebody does not know at what end of the barrel the bullet comes out, don't hand out a gun to him.

But we have plenty of Spaß, haven't we...?

Thank God, the future is saved.
