Political Farce: How Politics Generates Clowns!

The article criticizes the political process in Cyprus, characterizing it as a farce and politicians as clowns. It refers to two recent examples: a bill to publicize the locations of mobile speed cameras, which ultimately resulted in a vague commitment from the Police to publicize the areas if deemed appropriate, and a bill on the operation of restaurants and entertainment venues, which was withdrawn by the Ministry of Tourism shortly before the vote, after months of discussion. The author argues that these cases demonstrate the inability of politicians to turn serious proposals into laws and the lack of public trust in politics.
