Guess where.
No, not just in Israel. I thought it was a problem exclusive to Israel, but as the American Presidential Elections are starting to heat up, a year before the parties choose their candidates, everyone I speak to tells me that there's nobody of all the candidates, both parties, plus, they would vote for or support.
I've been speaking to Americans, right, left and center, and they all agree that the men and women attracted to politics are the pits, and that's the best anyone can say. Politicians are a bunch of phony opportunists.

The paucity of acceptable candidates puts a damper on the thrill of voting for the first time.
This is a problem acorss the Western world. There's no good candidates in the U.S. In Canada the current prime minister is more obsessed with winning a majority in the next election than he is with actually governing the country according to the platform he was elected on. In Britian, the Conservatives plan to beat Labour in the next election by being more left-wing than them and in Franch, Sarkozy has stolen every left wing idea and prominent politician for his cabinet.
Where are the Reagans, Thatchers and Begin's now that we need them?
Guiliani and Thompson see quite decent presidential candidates.
t and gi, yes, that seems to be the international trend.
