Yeah, they don't bring much to the table, but what else can we try? I mean PSOE and PP haven't fixed much either...

They bring more to the table than any of them, and by the ways PP and PSOE have been against podemos they seem very scared of them, just like the incident of intereconomia alcampo and pablo iglesias' underwear.

Also we don't know podemos erectoral programme, because they want to release it after PP and PSOE to avoid allowing them to study and criticise it.

If they don't break it any further (read: add speed laws for pedestrians, by example) they're already better than PP and PSOE.
Bonus points, undo some of the dumb changes the other two have done, and he has the next 4 years without having created anything.

Hardly we will end worse than we are now if we vote Podemos.

[Axsisel]

I think we should give Podemos a try at least. Unlike the others politicians who are mostly formed by bankers or lawyers Podemos is formed by university teachers or other specialists who seem to know what are they talking about.

So if we're done circlejerking over the headline:

[quote]She defended the need for new measures – saying that of the 370 pedestrians killed in 2014, more than half had alcohol or drugs in their blood.

The council’s concerns over jogging were completely unfounded, she said, as the proposal over pavement speed limits had been taken out of context.

The limits were aimed at imposing control over very specific situations, she said, such as when cyclists must share a stretch of pavement with pedestrians.[/quote]

It seems this is targeted at bicyclists on sidewalks, and people who are drunk and could get hurt by stumbling into traffic, not people jogging or walking too fast.

Don't see how they're going to enforce these new proposals given how the traffic is barely kept under wraps as it is. My parents went to Barcelona a couple of years ago and if it weren't for my Mum yanking my Stepdad further back he would've been run down by a speeding bus that had mounted the pavement.
