Politicians are like diapers....

Reference to the Al Jazeera news report here:
Japan's prime minister announces resignation - Asia-Pacific - Al Jazeera English

This is like Japan changes its PM every year. 

As it's said: politicians are like diapers; they have to be changed regularly! (From my favourite Mark Twain: “Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.”

Thus, I look forward to the September 15 elections in Denmark. I believe the left coalition will win this time and get back to government after a decade of right-wing disaster. But I'm much more keen on seeing how much votes/seats the right-wing will still get because it'll give us an idea how much more people we need to reach out: to challenge institutionalized racism in Europe and elsewhere that breeds monsters like Breivik; and to reassert the humanity of the ethos of egalitarianism, socialism, welfare, and solidarity.
