So the next leader of the country will be short-listed by 330 people and then chosen by circa 150,000 others.
When the electorate currently stands at c. 46,500,000.
330 representatives and 150,000 members of a party that having been solely responsible for the most severe civilian crisis in our modern history and are now playing pass-the-parcel with the consequences.
And they'll get away with it because instead of religion, the masses now have the opium of social media: instead of armed insurrection and civil disobedience, we retweet and add an overlay to our profile pictures.
Vain, indolent and corrupt: the politicians reflect and ape us in order to grasp power; we shape them, not the other way around.
