But I could be wrong.
well to be honest, he said a lot of great things. It 's just the way he does it: he says a lot of great things, people trust him, vote for him, and then nothing special happens. He will indeed only make things worse: reading betwenn the lines, the little phrase about the privatisation of the historical buildings for instance, brings the reader back to reality....
