It seems a very strange decision.

Giving the peace prize to an outgoing politician when they have made an outstanding contribution while in office, and actually achieved things, would be the right thing to do.

This seems to have been done in the hope of future actions based on past rhetoric.

Is the Nobel basically a popularity contest now?
