Who could be the opposition leader?

Friday, November 21
“I think Nino Burjanadze has the most chance to become opposition leader.”
Diana, journalist, 24

“Well it’s not easy to distinguish opposition leaders, because nowadays I don’t see any of them as being a real leader.”
Tamar, teacher, 54

“Maybe Salome Zourabichvili, because she has big experience in politics and is a smart and clever woman.”
Giga, student, 20

“If the opposition wants to be a real opponent of the Government it should choose a good leader and an experienced one. I think the best candidate is Nino Burjanadze, but at the same time I don’t think people trust her.”
Natali, secretary, 29

“I would choose Irakli Okruashvili, because I think he did lots of things for Georgia the previous year and would have done more if he had not beenarrested for telling the truth.”
Inna, painter, 25

“Well I don’t think there is a great choice. It’s important for a potential leader to love their own country and appreciate its people.”
Gia, pensioner, 65

“Kakha Kukava is a good politician to my mind. Kukava has the ability to attract people’s attention, he always talks in a convincing manner. The other opposition leaders seem to be an empty chair.”
Levan, sociologist, 41

“I like Gia Maisashvili. He has a good sense of economy. He would also be a wonderful Minister of Finance.”
Masha, housewife, 39

“I’m all for Davit Usupashvili. He seems to be a clever man who knows his duties. I like the entire Republican Party by the way.”
Natia, student, 20
