Portugal is going to the ballot box for the 3rd time in 3 years. What a shame, I must say. 2 governments fell with corruption scandals, and now we'll elect a new one.

It seems that this government is gonna be reelected. Nobody I want to vote for has even a remote chance of winning, but I'm happy that there's at least 1 party that I don't find thoroughly dreadful... I think our Communist party is mediocre, but I like some of their points... I don't like others. They're a little too anti-EU for my liking, I think I lean way more federalist than they do. There's another party that I like, to a certain extent, though I think they have a really weak program. They do a lot of talking, like "we want this" "this is the goal" but then the practical ideas are very... Loose, let's say. I don't feel comfortable voting for them, based on that. However, looking at their motions in parliament... It does seem that I'm more aligned with what they're actually doing...

I suppose, at the end of the day, that's what I should guide my vote with.

I've also been thinking about wars, recently. There's the war in eastern Congo, Palestine, Ukraine... Trade wars too, I mean, there's just


I don't know


there's so much going on, it feels overwhelming...

A assembleia portuguesa é uma autêntica comédia. Uma pessoa ri para não chorar.

Fogo... Mas digo-te, mais vale tentar fazer alguma coisa agora. Correu mal e tem corrido mal, mas andar a suspirar misérias não há de aduçar a coisa.

Temos um voto; só 1, mas é o mesmo que os outros todos. Se votarmos bem, falarmos com os nossos amigos e famílias, creio que há de ser possível meter lá alguém que tenha o bem-estar do povo como missão primária. Talvez. Possivelmente.
