I, too, am bothered by the lack of candidates in Moscow. And at the last
few elections we had so many...
But whenever I start complaining about this, someone asks why I am
not running, which shuts me up quickly.
That is, of course, a good question for Greg or anyone who is
concerned by the lack of choice here. If it's such a problem, why aren't
you running for election?
I didn't have a good enough answer for that.....
But I do think it sucks. A coronation like we are having here
does not allow for a discussion of perspectives or each candidates
personal baggage. And that is too bad.
Especially this year.
