Electoral Campaigns

Actually I’m registered to vote because of the “automatic vote” that has been implanted here in Chile; other way I wouldn’t registered to vote until the presidential elections.

If we talk about electoral campaigns, my opinion is that I really don’t like them. I understand that every politician wants to be known in their cities or country but there are a lot of ways to be known. The thing that I don’t like is to see the city full of propaganda, huge banners and papers thrown along the streets. This is because you can see avenues full of trash, because they don’t recycle anything of the paper used.

I think a politician or a person who wants a public position has to be reliable, kind with people, not racist or classist. Besides, this person should be honest, proactive, and efficient. Finally, I think he/she must have a lot of energy to work for the people according to their needs. 

On the other hand, I have never considered to have a public position or to be a politician because I don’t like politics at all, I’m not good at public speech or things like that and I wouldn’t like to have a public image all the time either.

Otherwise, the only thing that I liked about the last electoral campaigns was that the last day of the campaign the politicians said that the streets would be cleaned in just one day, I think they did it. Sadly it all comes in garbage.
