Time for Change

Some people thrive on political drama and some nations manage to provide it on a regular basis. One of my favourite subjects during my undergraduate degree was Italian politics, which probably reveals my general disposition towards exciting, if disjointed politics. In recognising that revolution and upheaval are the more interesting political events, it is important to remember that there comes a time when what any country needs is political stability and normality. In this light recent political protests in Georgia lend little to improving the country’s prospects; but the situation should speak volumes about the failures of the regime, and point to some fast responses required for the next few years.
