Elections

On the 31st May there were local body elections.
As expected most candidates were middle aged men. Women however, made up most of the electioneering support. Their role seemed to consist of standing in lines along roads or one corners and bowing to the passerbys whether they be pedestrians or in cars. Occassionally a song would play and they would do syncronised movement to it - almost but not quite dancing - more like aerobics. All were dressed in different coloured tee-shirts with numbers on. The numbers related to the candidates but we have had not had much luck in finding out how it all works.
