I'm going crazy

Really nothing new on this website today but I just wanted to express my anger against this period of time in Tokyo when the elections come...
It is absolutely unbearable ... Cars go around all the districts with huge speakers, while there's a lady in the car shouting in the mic with an very bothering voice "vote for X for the district of Y ... vote for X for the district of Y ..."
I mean is what politics is all about in Japan ?! This is mind torturing/brain washing, that's it !

I'm wondering what the people who do that are actually thinking ...
"Hmmm ... I don't know who to vote for because I haven't got enough information on their plans ... Why not the one who shouted the loudest and the most, preventing me from having a peaceful week-end ?"
Yeah, that must be what they think people will behave when the time comes to go voting ...

The best part is that there are so many candidates that you can be sure to get at least one within 10 minutes, and that lasts for the whole week-end, from 8am to 8pm (actually, I assume they do that during the week too but I can't tell from the 15th floor where my office is).
