He let out a huge sigh as he watched the evening news. He ignored his daughter's quizzical look and continued to stare at the TV. He looked what at his new boss, the new Prime Minister, make a speech on the television. He had been in the system far too long and he felt he knew exactly how the next 5 years would pan out.
The first few months the new chap would show energy, probably give him a new assignment and follow the progress of each initiative with zeal. Post this honeymoon period, the weight of responsibilities, the inertia of the system would start getting to him and to make matters worse the popularity ratings dwindle, the media turns from an indulging friend to a raging adversary. The last phase, in a bid to get reelected would be characterized by frantic activity, desperately trying to hold on to power. The style may change but the substance never does.
A new five year cycle repeats has begun, fortunately for him he will retire in three.
