Why elections make me sick to my stomach

By Pamela Cerdeira

It should be different; those of us who are dedicated to informing and communicating the electoral season is like a hypersensory fair loaded with so much content that it is impossible to cover it in its entirety. It is everything but boring. We have crappy spots, good spots, politicians playing at being singers, singers wanting to be politicians, influencers receiving money to talk about characters whose names they do not know how to pronounce, parties filing complaints before the INE for any stupidity, electoral authorities wasting their time answering those stupidities with a seriousness that makes you laugh, people who privately shake hands and shake their hats in social networks, everything, absolutely everything is a colorful show. I have no problem with the show, what bothers me is financing it. When we read a "gossip" magazine we know that the protagonists have an objective, and they are not taking anything from us, except time, but when the protagonists are the ones who will have the decision on the use of our resources, things change.
