Could you see yourself supporting ex-Imedi journalist Giorgi Targamadze’s new political party?

Wednesday, January 16
“I think he made a poor choice. He’s wasn’t very successful as a politician before, when he was in [Adjaran ruler Aslan] Abashidze’s party as an MP.”
Salome, doctor, 27

“I would definitely support Targamadze’s party. He’s a clever man, and though he’s had some unsuccessful episodes in politics before, I think he’ll have a very strong force this time.”
Keti, banker, 45

“He was a strong journalist, and journalism is where he should have stayed.”
Viola, housewife, 34

“I like him a lot, he’s intelligent and knows what he wants. I’m sorry there’s no place in Georgian media for him. I welcome his decision, and would support him if he participates in the parliamentary elections.”
Zviad, architect, 46

“Targamadze was the best journalist in Georgia, but I don’t think he will be a good politician. I’d suggest he doesn’t wade into that mess.”
Nini, student, 21

“He made the right choice. I’ll support him.”
Gaga, sportsman, 25

“Well, let’s wait for the official presentation of his party. Whether I support him depends on who else stands next to him.”
Soso, economist, 38

“If I can, I’ll join him and his party. I love Giorgi!
Tamuna, student, 22

“No, I won’t support him. It’s better for him to stay in journalism than to join the opposition.”
Temuri, lawyer, 51
