The
reason why political leeches will almost always succeed in driving a wedge
between the elected and the ordinary electorate is because most elected people
soon become defective in wisdom, and too smitten by power that they forget the
fact that snakes will always be snakes, no matter how many times they shed
their skin.
So,
where I come from, we say politicians don't eat with the people they starved
with. And in the end, those ordinary people who toured and starved with them,
who bore every brunt to make things happen will get disgusted to a point they
longer care... that was why some rural folks during Jawara's reign had this
grumble that they make leaders and Banjul snatches them.
