A Propósito dos políticos



Maria Teresa Goulão


Politicians and pundits often like to think that elections are won through a mixture of policies, big ideas and an appealing image. The truth is simpler. All these are but ingredients of a larger point: trust. Most people are not very interested in politics. They decide either that they trust an incumbent government so little that they kick it out, or that they trust a party enough to put or keep it in.»
