It’s complicated

Abstract

The meme on Facebook showing a super-imposition of the face of person with down’s syndrome on that of the Prime Minister was not only of bad taste but has embodied this election campaign. This is only the icing on the cake after four years of non-stop deleterious campaigning focused on mud-slinging, backbiting and slander rather than converging a debate on the issues that matter most to the people. For these four years most of us stood looking at this stream of ill-treatment and toxic actions between the political parties, with none of the sides even remotely considering a truce that would give some respite to the public.
