scandalette
Georgie notes:
2. A letter from east-central Europe proposes that the right to vote of welfare recipients should be suspended for the duration of their dependency. Indeed, parties advocating re-distribution seem to disburse so as to bind and to gain clients. “Vote for the dole” is not an openly used slogan but it fits the practice. So the newest (Hungarian) “scandalette” is no surprise: Gypsy leaders traded their controlled votes for Socialist hand-outs.
