The problem is these politicians. They beguile the gullible public to rally behind them and to uncritically populate their armies. The opposition follower has been reduced to a pawn in some juvenile beep matching contest playing out on a national stage. I am beginning to think that a thumping loss in 2019 may do the opposition some good.
