Gaolathe is popular, but Pilane is powerful

And just in case you were not in this country some six years ago or politics does not interest you, this party was conceived after the founders were booted out of the ruling party. At the time, the founders were labelled as  ‘power hungry, rogues’ and all words you can think of, words which school principals used during assembly time at school, before reading out a list of school trouble makers.

There is a difference between being popular and being powerful. Unfortunately, these two concepts get jumbled frequently. Powerful people are often very visible and sadly too many people confuse “influence” with basic popularity. But being popular doesn’t mean you necessarily have a comparable amount of influence within a particular niche.
