Politics: derived from poly, meaning many, and tics, meaning blood sucking parasites.
It’s election time here in Ghana and air is full of political nonsense and hot air.
Instead of tackling issues of relevance, the different parties are busy with name calling and blaming each other for all the evils in this world. Of course we don’t expect them to do anything once they come into power (it doesn’t matter the party) but at least the best they can do is try and make us think that one day we’ll get there. Hopefully. The only thing these parties seem to agree on is that the amounts charged by the electoral commission to register candidates has gone up. They even went to the extent of calling a press conference to complain to the press. And they did it together. That should give us a hint of where these parties seem to be interested in- when it affects their pockets.
