The country is charged. We are consumed by political frenzy. Anything and everything being done, uttered and promised seem to have a political angle. It is an election year after all. We are a political nation. We breathe, eat and sleep politics, and we wallow in the same.
I doubt there is any other country where the people talk politics year-in-year-out. Whilst it would be deemed quite okay to discuss politics in an election year or a year preceding an election, ours offers a different cocktail each day.
