Brilliant, Maybe his policies will be just as brilliant and he won't sell out Ukraine to Oligarchs. Hang the rich Oligarchs who plundered Ukraine during post soviet collapse. It is the people's money. All factories should be seized by government and shares issued to every citizen. The professional managers appointed.

In all countries pretending to be democracy this should be a law. The reconnized possibility for voters to say: we don't want any of the above. Then, if this "ticket" receive a highier number of votes than the other candidats; it will mean that the election is void and that a new election will take place. In any firm; if the manager say: we must hire 5 ingineers and that the applicants do not have the competence; then the research is extended. Simple logic ! I made hat suggession in a book called France = 4 F in 2001. Since the french idiotic system of partis in such an election will go bankrupt, like will do most actual prostitute medias, my editor, also tied-up to the partis' system was of very little help. Beside, the brainwashed french people so convinced to be the nombril of the World can not imagine what will be a real democracy. Like my dream of seeing mankind reconverting all useless industries; starting with the self-destruction one (armaments); it is, just my wishfull thinking. Nonetheless, it will be a great news if that ukrainian person will succeed. Bravo to him; keep it up and be positive. Sincerely. Jean-Claude Meslin
