Ever since I could vote I have learnt that politicians differ. Some are smart, some not so smart and some can speak for hours without really saying anything. And some just didn’t know what they were talking about. Oh of course there were many excellent ones who practised. And there were those who just preached.
Our administration has changed hands many times and we can learn many things from the kaleidoscope of people who got elected. One thing that I’ve learnt is how not to act like some of them.
After the clean up campaign is finished (I hope it will be soon) and we are given its findings (I hope there are some) we can learn about and rectify our mistakes and move on.
One thing is for sure, the reason for our failed state is because our politicians were not extraordinary in their leadership. They were not visionaries and had mission and vision statements that had a 5 year shelf life. Because of political rivalry no one wanted the other to benefit from his or her ideas. Hence the many manifestos all saying the same thing but worded differently. If one party got elected it governed for the 5 year term. When another administration came in they started all over again.
Our problem escalates because political parties don’t want to work together.
Could It be because they didn’t want to seen to be inferior to the other.

Politicians in Fiji should be worried as the day will come when people will realise that these people who they look up to are unqualified to say the least.
As the people continue to endure social issues like un affordable housing, expensive food and unemployment, they will realise that we have more than abundant resources to solve this problems
