The crowd were then asked to vote in favour of sending the letter by raising their hand. And so they did.

Now they do it on Facebook.

Problem is, that movement materialised on Grillo’s blog. When the number of hits and contributions became unmanageable the blog was developed into virtual sections and so it started.

At one point the decision to contest local council elections was taken, the rest is history.

It was never an established political party whitewashing itself. It also refuses mainstream media, especially TV.

Democracy, according to those people, cannot be unilateral.

Envisaged to elect at least 80 newcomers to the house this February, their declared agenda is to provide an authentic opposition.

Yes, that’s it, being in opposition, according to these people, has its merit.

That is the real aim – to reach as wide an audience as possible.

So what’s the whole thing regarding the tablet for Year 4 students? Ensuring a form of cutting edge education is given to these children (only)?
