<|begin_of_text|><|begin_of_text|><|begin_of_text|>I find it interesting that history has made it necessary for governments to bind their mouths shut during an election so as not to influence the course of the election while the politicians themselves make all sorts of promises.
What it does is stop the politicians from<wm> doing what they really wish their constituents had done.
It's not in anyone's best interest.
What other societies have done that and were successful? 
I remember my father working long hours at the company he joined in Germany after the Second world war.
What did he say to me at the time? He told me I had to work long hours at the company to support my family, he didn't know how we would survive without me being a cog in the machine that has continued under the next administrations</wm>... 
I thought I had given my parents some financial security and protection of the traditional practices.
