Throughout our history as a self-governing nation, many leaders have treated the people like marionettes. They have held the strings to their emotions, often yanking them to incense them about their opponents or to excite them with promises. When there is a history of division, pain and mistrust, there are those who will continue to remind the people, that today’s decisions must still be based on those past hurts. We have moved a few steps forward, because of the younger generations, but still we see some of the same old patterns in the selection of our leaders.
Local Government Elections occurred on Monday. There was no great excitement. A few questions formed in my mind:
How long will the current major political parties be the only choices?
