Jane, are you eligible to vote in the next elections?
JANE:
Yes, I’m on the electoral roll now Mary, but I’ve no idea who to vote for.
MARY:
Funny that, isn’t it? When I hear my parents speaking of the past, they seemed to know left from right and who to vote for.
JANE:
It doesn’t seem to matter so much these days. It’s Washington, Brussels, the money markets, and the multinationals that seem to take all the decisions.
MARY:
According to the latest opinion polls, there will be record abstention next month.
JANE:
Well, with so much unemployment, it’s not surprising.
MARY:
Exactly. Will the politicians give you and me a decent job?
JANE:
I very much doubt it, but I hope so.
