I'm giving up on the presidential elections. BFW isn't an option and Fischer is becoming les of one every day. Too much too vague blahblahblah, too obviously intent on not offending or alienating anyone, and apparently he'd make Haider vice-chancellor if there were 'no other options'. Or, one might guess, if it were politically opportune for the SPÖ. I'd like to think even Klestil would've balked at that.

Not that the office is all that important anyway. I'll vote invalid, I guess.

A while ago I toyed with the idea of voting for the social democrats at the next elections for the first time in my life, because it looked rather like voting green would mean having the same ÖVP faces back in government. However, after recent events it seems even likelier that voting socialist would mean having the FPÖ back again, and at least from an ethical point of view this is worse.

*sigh*. Gah.

.:.:.:.

On a lighter (and brighter) note, I caught a report on tv today about an arab girl playing in Israel's girls' soccer team. Even if it's probably not all as easy as it was made out to be, this still seemed right in many ways....

.:.:.:.

I'm surprised how relieved I am for having G. out of my life for the time being, and by my decision... I may (should) e-mail him one of these days and explain, but I really want to keep it this way. It's not that I'm blaming everything that went wrong in my life on him, but I didn't realise how much this constant vague guilt dragged me down, made me insecure.
