A few wishes:

1. That people with agendas would not take a few words and deliberately take them out of context to serve their own interests

2. That candidates would actually work to support the ideals they say they believe in, rather than breaking people's hearts by promptly jettisoning the ideas that got them elected

3. That professional politicians would take their country's interests at heart, not just those of their political future

4. If politicians change their minds, that they would have the guts to explain in a coherent manner why, and not deny that they have in fact changed their minds

5. That campaigns would be focused on issues of substance, not on silly non-issues that get blown out of proportion

6. That candidates and parties would promise policies that make realistic sense, and not silly fantasy policy that will buy votes

7. That media would check their facts, and not get overly obsessed about certain topics at the expense of all other worthwhile news

8. That media would not perpetuate the lies by repeating the words used by political hacks with agenda

9. That for once, people are not forced to choose between two extremes

10. That people in government would be held accountable for incompetence
