Dačić won't rule out change of ruling coalition agreement

The reshuffle has been announced, and as expected, it is a farce. A few insignificant ministers will be replaced, by who, God knows - probably by worse party hacks. Dacic and Vucic will retain their strangle hold on Serbian politics until, God please, the EU is done with them, and some new, young bright, educated and worldly people can replace them. I only wonder, do such people even exist in Serbia today, or have they all fled?

If anyone needed a defintion of the so called "particracy" - which is not even perfectly prooved on Wikipedia yet -:. Watch this!

This is what happens under a closed-list proportional representation system. This is Serbia's biggest problem! It's electoral system is such that it creates a political class. Elections are just a way of transferring political authority to unelected, often unknown, power brokers within the individual parties.

People vote for the party, the party gets a certain percentage of the "political pie". Then, the decision of who gets to be in government is up to party bosses! There is a disconnection in this system between the people and who is ending up sitting in parliament.

When's the last time there's been even a single new face on the Serbian political scene? 1999???

This is neither normal nor healthy for any country.
