In One Accord?

How we attempt to outmuscle ourselves daily on here because of politicians who'd care less of our opinions because of such trifling lack of a powerful single-voice with which to press for good governance and fiscal responsibility is utterly saddening. To say the least. These displays of affectation for parties and candidates rather than a united front for issues of governance only serve to inform these self-serving politicians that we - the governed - will remain divided along lines of mundane irrelevance giving them all the impetus they need to keep us divided.

What good will come from that but a glorious repetition of clueless governance, a vicious cycle leading us farther and further from realising the noble goals of our founding fathers. It is beyond shame that the youths, a category that I've been unfortunately stuffed into, are the most divided because of their self-righteous insistence on being more knowledgeable about this candidate or that party than anyone else. Hence, an insanely ridiculous amount of time is spent on researching more about their "heroes" and "heroines" to counter the accusations of their peers on the other lane.

If a fraction of that time is expended on issues of policy, of manifesto, of ideas, of strategies involved in a more robust electoral process, so as to be better prepared to ensure that those fielding themselves for electoral positions know that it's not gon be "Business As Usual" since the electorate will demand for true representation and good governance IN ONE ACCORD and WITH ONE VOICE, if only a fraction of our time (as youths) is devoted to this, what a difference it'd make.

But no. We'd rather argue amongst ourselves and divide our focus and opinions on the most mundane trivialities.
