Experience never guides our vote

It grieved me to read the comment from Stelios Iacovides, “Silence outside the Palace on weekends speaks volumes”. This is a culture of spoiled people, unwilling to suffer for their privileges. I have lost count of all the scandals of the last few years and nothing comes of ‘inquiries’. Yet when the elections come around, again the Cypriot people will elect these same fools, because we don’t learn! And that Person in the Presidential Palace is betting on that.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
