Kostas Karakonstandis ... No matter how much we whine or how angry we get at the ineptitude of some and the partisan games of others, we do not have a critical mass of young politicians that are capable of governing in a completely different manner. There are also those who believe that the country must inevitably experience a phase of being governed by someone like leftist opposition leader Alexis Tsipras in order to put to rest its leftist, post-dictatorship ideology before entering a phase of genuine rebirth. In the words of a cynical friend, this is an interesting academic approach. Indeed the country needs what I would call a “historical correction.” In other words, it needs to hit rock-bottom, truly realize what went wrong and then move onto a new generation of politicians who will lead the country forward with confidence, vision and strength. We’re all in search of the next Eleftherios Venizelos and Constantine Karamanlis, the country’s charismatic statesmen. Kostas .. Knowing full well your thoughts on Tsipras .. do you nevertheless think (like many) that a time of government by the likes of Tsipras is inevitable so that his skewed leftist idealogy can be finally laid to rest, before the necessary phase of genuine rebirth can occur? ekathimerini/4dcgi/_w_articles_wsite3_1_10/11/2013_527086
