From Negative Poll Ratings to… Holograms

The first major poll conducted by "F" ahead of the May 24th parliamentary elections reveals a society tired, distrustful, and disappointed with political leadership. Negative opinions outweigh positive ones for almost all party leaders, with the only exceptions being Odysseus Michaelides and Annita Dimitriou, where positive and negative opinions are roughly equal. The research indicates that dissatisfaction concerns not only individuals but also the way politics is practiced, with citizens believing that parties are not responding to society's problems and calling for modernization and leadership change. The assessment of the Parliament's work is also negative, with 77% of citizens judging it negatively. The survey highlights the need for renewal in the political system, warning that abstention and disillusionment will increase if the poll's message is ignored. The use of artificial intelligence to "revive" Glaukos Clerides at the DISY conference is commented on as a move that reveals more than the organizers intended.
