Too Many Candidates?

The article is a sarcastic critique of the abundance of candidates and potential candidates aspiring to run for parliamentary elections in Cyprus. The author expresses bewilderment as to why so many people desire to engage in politics, given the benefits associated with the position of a Member of Parliament (salary, allowances, offices). They question whether politics is the only way to contribute to society or if the attraction of the position is excessive. The article concludes with an ironic reference to the possibility of electing the “best of the best.”
