Politics

[gerbie]

I do write a few series here on LJ, on a completely irregular basis.

Football heroes
My students
Concert memories
Book reports:
2004
2003
2002
2001
2000


It was suggested to me that I should write a bit more about politics. In my Dutch LJ (gerbie7) I have started a series on politicians I'd like to abolish. Now I am considering a series in this LJ as well. Two ideas spring to mind. Firstly, Dutch politics for outsiders. I wrote an article two years ago on Fortuyn, to explain him and his murder to non Dutch people:

Read back

I could continue explaining a few other things as well.

Otherwise I could just translate the Dutch series or write an international version of the politicians I think you should be abolished.

What do you think?

I'd like to hear more on Dutch politics for outsiders! I'm always intrigued to hear more about how other country's political systems work or don't work -- all I really know about is British politics ('cuz I live here) and American politics ('cuz it's everywhere).

Thank you. Even though you are the only one who responded, I know one or two more who might/will enjoy it as well, guess I might as well try a few episoded. Just not sure if I have to be completely objective or can be opinionated as well...

I know, but sometimes it can be changing the perception if you're thinking you're reading an explanation, while in fact it is an opinion disguised as an explanation.
