I don't like what just happened in the presidential race.
I personally think the entire position, and thereby the election for it, should be canceled. As long as it is not, I don't support any candidate, though not because I am protesting the position but because we common-folk don't get to vote anybody. It is a vote only for MKs, and they don't vote based on qualifications, but on political deals.
Regardless of that, I don't like the way this goes down. Someone does not like one of the leading candidates, so an investigation is opened. Maybe he did what he is accused of, and maybe he did not. We won't know until much later, but in the meantime his candidacy is killed.
If whomever gave the police the information has been sitting on it for years, the police should not act on it until after the elections. The police should not be the ones to decide who has the right to run and who does not. If he would have already been under an ongoing investigation, that would be a different story - if he was under investigation and chose to run anyway, he would have taken the risk of the investigation going any which way..
but to open an investigation just a few days before the election? That is just not right.
