The politricks of politics

Some time ago I was all tjatjarag, excited about the upcoming elections. However, the novelty and excitement has died down. Why? I just don’t get a positive vibe about the elections. After casting my vote, I’m probably going to chill with a few peeps and dissect the outcome and the long journey we would have taken to reach this year’s elections.

I won’t go into the nitty gritty, but with Sir G’s death, the arrest of certain journalists, the endless break-ins and assaults, as well as the mudslinging between political parties; we have had more than enough going in.

Anyways, I have been following the Btv and Gabz FM debates, when my schedule allows.  I have found them quite interesting; sans the short time they are allocated. What I have found most interesting is that not all our politicians are good speakers! I’m not the best public speaker around. I struggle to articulate myself verbally, and it suites me fine since I’m generally, reserved and soft-spoken, so I have deep-seated admiration for gifted orators.
