The democratic project: failed (a good while ago)
Today in the local Parliament two committees were sitting at the same time: one dealt with the case of a dead sexual predator; the other with the future of nuclear energy in this country.
Guess which issue is going to attract bigger interest from voters and get more coverage in the media? But then, you cannot expect the average voter to know that it's been obvious for quite a while now that the human project doesn't have any future and that nuclear power has always had a bright future (as the average voter has been exposed to very high&brain damaging levels of Greenpeace).
