We should demand more from our leaders

Dear Editor,

I was once again disillusioned by the bloggers’ response to a letter saying that we should demand more from our public servants and representatives.  One pessimist said that there was nothing new in this letter. The point missed was that we – NGOs, business community, individuals, etc –should be more organized and vocal in demanding more from elected, appointed, so-called leaders. I am afraid that the partisan and the biased will never have anything constructive to add to a national dialogue. Lord, here they come again.

Yours faithfully,
(Name and address provided)
