An open letter to our politicians: We deserve more from you!

My analogy was simply that politicians are like stray men who propose a woman; flatter and pamper her, making her feel valued and loved. Once he has enjoyed her carnal warmth he becomes less affectionate and goes for the next kill. She feels used, betrayed and calls him a dog. But that “dog” got what it wanted! With that analogy embedded in my mind, it was difficult to believe politicians.

I have however also realized that if my casting a vote can make a difference; then why not do it? Rigging is my only fear, but let’s believe everyone is honest. That’s the only way to remain sane. As much as we know which party is going to win, I anticipate several unexpected faces in councils and Parliament, especially youthful faces.
