If Park Animals’ farewell message to their outgoing government could be summed up in two words, those words might well be, “Good riddance.”
So say the results of a survey conducted last month by the Livingstone School of Economics and Social Science at the University of West Terrier.
The survey, which asked Park Animals thirty questions regarding the effectiveness of this year’s Archons, netted some surprising results, says Dr. Anneliese Cissa, the Livingstone School’s head.
“We asked a representative sample of Park citizens questions about the 2013 Archons’ policies and visions, and about their success in following through on the promises they made on Groundhog Day. Few of the respondents could name one policy the Archons had even enunciated, let alone brought to fruition,” she said.
The overwhelming feeling of the respondents was one of acute disappointment.
“Our respondents were quick to characterize the 2013 government as not only lacking in action, but in vision. And vision is the very thing we look to the Archons for,” she said.
The survey respondents were also forthright in their criticism of Chief Archon Dewi Merpatee Rhinoceros.
“It appears that Park Animals had higher expectations of her because she is a Rhinoceros. Unfortunately, her performance did not meet those expectations,” said Cissa.
