Country gripped by political confusion

The country continues to be gripped by political confusion, chaos and conflict; they are divided among themselves and are continually in disagreement. Business is at a standstill, so is tourism, even the hi-fi shoppers seem to be at an all-time low and we are plagued with discounts from every conceivable side: buy two get two free, spend this much and you get a 20% discount, spend a little more and you get a 30% discount, all vying for business! What absolute desperation! One eye-catcher trolled: buy 1 and get 2 free; that was the height of desperation! Yet, the government is proclaiming from the rooftops that all is well.
