A Little Decadence Makes the World

An opposition party today unveiled their hope for the future. A twenty-four year old ITE graduate who joined the party because of the government's decision to allow two casinos here, something he is opposed to.


At the young, tender age of twenty-four, what positive impact on the lives of thousands can he expect to make? With all due respect to him, he may be a budding genius for all I know, isn't he a little too young to be dabbling in the world of politics? In an environment where a slight mistake could put thousands worse off? What is needed is someone with experience, a mature head on his/her shoulders to weigh the pros and cons of an issue before coming to a decision. Not someone who is just beginning to see and understand the art of managing thousands.


Politics is not about a single issue. That would simply be a frog in a well. Politics encompasses a whole spectrum of dealings, from society to security, from comfort to convenience. To find fault and try to capitalise on it would simply reflect a lack of cause to a certain extent, and to a greater extent, immaturity. Is this the best the opposition has to offer? No wonder someone was lamenting about the lack of First World opposition. And they expect us to take them seriously? Seriously.


All this is getting me stressed out. Anyone game for some Russian Pokers?
