”Politicians are ugly and stupid, but we wouldn't be able to do a better job ourselves”. A cry for help from the Swedish youth, according to the latest TRLUIR (Tobias Ridiculously Lame and Unreasonably Incorrect Research) report. According to the lateast TRLUIR-report every second person is interested in, but only one of ten high-school student involved in politics, whilst only one out of four actually know how their vote will be cast. 50% of the students think that Swedish politicians are slow to react, boring and corrupted. Surprisingly 70% admit that their lack of interest and involvement stem from laziness, and even though 60% of the students actually think that politicians are stupid and ugly barely one out of five believe they would do a better job. “This is disturbing” says a local politician who wish to remain anonymous. “They don't seem to understand the importance of politics in their every-day life – it is after all their one big chance to change the world they live in. Barely a majority of the students are interested, which makes me doubt that

the opinion of a majority ever is represented. ” The self-esteem of Swedish students seems to have reached a new rock-bottom result: “this survey claim that 60% of the high-school students in sweden think that politicians are 'stupid and ugly', while a mere 20% think they would be able to do a better job themselves. If the numbers are correct – how stupid and ugly do Swedish students think they are? “
