Today's election results were the only possible ones. They were the only ones that would make sense economically and politically. Who doesn't govern in a responsible, clean, sustainable way (or we could just sum it up to "who doesn't govern well") must be kicked out. People must be responsible for their actions. Period!
But the story doesn't end here. A lot more than a new party (or parties) in power, this election should stand out as a new cycle. A cycle in which Portuguese citizens are more involved into politics and actively demand that politicians actually behave in a responsible, economicaly and socially oriented manner. And that demand should not be only every 4 years, but daily - through constant involvement, pressure. By demanding good, reliable and unpartial information. By paying more attention to what really matters - and not to football or social circus. By demanding to know the costs of every single measure and who will pay for it.
Democracy is an incredible system - it gives every nation the government they deserve. Portugal can only ask for a better Government if it deeply demands it. Let the responsibility cycle begin - let's make it happen!
