Something is rotten in the state Ukraine

Maybe you know, maybe you don't, but Ukraine is approaching another round of parliament elections. As we didn't have enough elections recently! And once again, three major forces participate and again as arrogant and hostile they are, they try to be good now and evince at least some care about Ukraine and Ukrainians:





But look at the pictures, look carefully, look closely. Maybe you'll see what I can't see there. Maybe I'm blind, but what I see is only lots, lots of white, orange and blue flags that belong to our celebrated political parties. And what I don't see is Ukrainian flags! There're none. No flag of the country and people they are so selflessly fighting for.

These pictures alone clearly show how much our parties care about Ukraine... Imagine how many other proofs we have here ;) Do we need these guys in parliament? Several years in a row my answer was "no!". This year I say "stay away from this country!".

Weird. When you said I should look closely at the picture, I did. And I thought: Hey, there's quite some difference in the audience's ages:

white: very young people, mostly kids even!

orange: people between 20 and 40 years of age.

blue: many of those are not going to see the next elections :)

Is some truth in that? Do those parties differentiate themselves by adapting their program to different ages?

Be very glad you see no national flags, for that means no one party has managed to claim sole use of them.

Yep, I'm a bit exaggerating. But only a bit. Because Ukrainian flag is indeed used less and less. Just take a look at parties' booths - they usually have 2 flags nearby and both flags are blue/orange/white/<insert your favorite color here>.

Well, interesting observation :) I wouldn't say though that the audience of blue party is too old in the region I live ;) This may not be true in other regions.
