Yowe yai fal, yai folli... the rest is noise!

Career politicians and political adherents will often use a certain trivial but nag-ridden issue, or invent one and break all hell loose with it, just to cause doubt and unwarranted disarray, mostly to weaken another. Trust me, it’s not unusual; that’s why they have a term for it: "wedge politics." The wise electorate will usually step aside to avoid being jostled, knowing that no matter what is being said, the shots are his/hers to call - yowe yai fal, yai folli.

So, this National Assembly election, act like you have a mind of your own and decide not by the forced perception, especially knowing that Parliament is where bills affecting your living are gonna be passed, laws made and amended through rigorous debates, and if you don't want a logically disconnected rep, one who'll go in there and be some other MP's cheerleader, or be seen and not heard in five years, except for adding bass perhaps, or chorusing like: "my colleagues have said it all. I’ll join them and congratulate Diw Sangam for this brilliant bill" and that's it.
