He talks with no essence, about "dreams" and "imaginations" and a ton of prepared empty slogans. Kasoulides doesn't even have 1/10th of the caliber of Papadopoulos, Cleredes or Vassiliou.

Personally I hope Christofias will come back to his senses like he was until 6 months ago so we will be able to support him. Otherwise I will personally vote for nobody.



I know what you mean Piratis. Kassoulides is my option after knowing what i know about the Papadopoulos camp. I know a satisfactory amount about Christofias to realise that a Communist leader who did not want the EU is not the person to represent us there.

I just hope that any decision on the Cypro will go to referendum ...............

Perhaps partition based 18% & 80% respectively is the way to go then ..... so that the RoC can keep its growth and development as it has done so for the past 34 years. Then with the national isue solved people can move on with their lives.

I said i'm used to you putting a lot more thought in your posts than just adding sweeping remarks about something you heard from someone that thought he heard.

Kasoulides has the abilities to guide the country forward. We need to leave the past behind and leave the politician of the past behind to move forward. Christofias and his communist ideology can not be trusted. he used to be against Europe , EUro, and is still againsty Nato.

Kasoulides will not sell anyone not the GCs and not the TCs but will unite both . He is not a far right supporter and certainly not a Nationalist. he represents the young generation and he will do everything possible to unite the country and the people.

I agree with you about Christofias, but at least he seems like a person who thinks very well about his moves and everything he says or does is thought and planned.

Kasoulides on the other hand is not particularly charismatic, but unfortunately he doesn't realize this. He seems like a person who will just dream and imagine things, and act spontaneously. I feel he would be very dangerous as our representative in negotiations.

After rejecting Papadopoulos, who was not perfect but was better than the other two, now we have to choose between the remaining two.

The choice is between Chrisofias who I hope will side with EDEK and DIKO and therefore follow more or less the same policies, but who will unfortunately create a very bad image for Cyprus abroad, and on the other side is Kasoulides who apparently wants to follow a far right economic policy and in my belief will be very bad as a negotiator.

I hope nothing...I know its rare for you to watch democracy at work VP but you're acting like an infant. In democracies, even all-powerful demi-gods such as the one you made of Tpap can get voted out. We had him for 5 years and you thought him as an overbearing leader who was against a resoution which you yourself has said many time you did not want anyway!!!

Your hypocrisy grows even more with the fact that it took you 30+ years to get rid of the acknowledged equivalent (in your eyes) to Tpap, Denktash and it only took us 5 years to realise we're ready for a change.

Each Cypriot (Greek Cypriots, Armenian Cypriots, Latin Cypriots, Maronite Cypriots, law obeying Turkish Cypriots etc) cast their vote, one person one vote as true democracy is, and therefore their decision is fully respected.

Papadopoulos is not my "idol", just the person that I believe was far better than the other 2 options available. But no matter how strong this belief of mine is, in democracies what is done is what the majority democratically decides, and not what I want.
