My patience is wearing extremely thin indeed. I'd like to think that this sentiment is shared by the majority of Serbian citizens but people are so used to being badly treated here by politicians nobody really realises how bad all of this is. This DSS flirting with SRS is enough to make one reach for the bucket. Its cheap, populistic and in my view, manipulation. Eric has it right saying that a minority SRS supported government could destroy DSS. More importantly it would likely destroy SRS, or at least the longer it lasted, the more support would peel away from SRS. Thats one of the main reasons why such a government would not last. So, what to do? To say 'hell with this give us an unholy DSS/SRS supported government so that emboldened reform minded parties may return to government soon after with radical measures in mind'? Or is it the 'we must make sure this does not succeed at all costs' view? The problem being that the SRS problem will not go away and the stop-start reform process will continue chugging along as DSS is forced kicking and screaming into the 21st century. This is truly sickening, nobody and I mean nobody deserves this kind of vermin to rule them. The kind of people that put their own interests ahead of the good of the country. The kind of people that dont even understand that if they rule in the interest of the country in the short term they can still steal and cheat in the future and probably gain more benefit from it. I wrote at the Belgrade Blog recently that some government spokesman said that there was 'plenty of time' to form a government. Yeah plenty of time, lets postpone potential new elections and impose a deadline of a century or so for formation of the government. Well personally speaking I’ve had more than enough of this.
