GMB - political hoo-ha

To begin with, everyone has the right to express any opinion without restraint, and every addressee of such opinion has the right to object... that’s no censorship. It's just like you reading this have the right to break it off. But when we have different opinions and want to have a healthy conversation, tact, giving good reason for disagreeing, and suggesting alternatives is important. If one exercises an entitlement to a diverging opinion, but cannot introduce a better proposal, the motivation to enforce that position may be defeated, because it may not be premised on logic.

Secondly, I fear that a collision may befall this coalition and we are gonna be catalysts, but that’s by the way. My opinion today is this: any person who feels that the window of opportunity to get catapulted to Cabinet is closed, or is closing, but qualified and willing to run for Parliament shouldn’t hesitate, if political input is the only way you know to serve country that is. That’s what genuine people do when they feel aggrieved; they organise, not agonise. They cultivate odd-defying spirits, but in accordance with reason, not emotions.

Third, here’s some good news: the parliamentary branch allows for more participation than the executive, so there’s still an opportunity to not only serve, but to observe as well, and to steer governing actions. But then your qualities tending to result in you being voted for is another thing. Remember, the average voter in your consistency is not aware of your e-heroics on here. It’s not like you’ll say “I’m in, so spoil me! Serve up your votes on a plate for me.”

Finally, we should overstand that a coalition government is one where parties swallow emotional attachments in the interest of combined action. It’s often temporary and just groundlaying –that is to help navigate the course of reforms. So, having ripe repositories of institutional memory may not be a silver bullet, but essential material for the purpose. Now considering the task and just three years, we need more than just plain ‘ole pretty boy guts, especially of novices but pretended political and juridical scientists, who may end up begging for time to learn by doing.
