Wherever we live in the world we are never far from the world of Politics. Whether it is the system of government of the country in which we live, or within our work organisation, and for some of us, our church hierarchy, politics always seem to be part of it.
I have always been interested in the way our country is governed. I did a course on just that in my early twenties. However, family and working life intervened and it has always remained on the back burner in my life. In my retired capacity however, I find myself drawn more and more to the politics that affect my life.
What I am finding is that over the years we have left behind the statesmanship that was always a prerequisite of good governance. In many organisations it has been hijacked by the usual self interested parties.
Fine debating skills that used to be the highlight of our Parliament has now deteriorated into squabbling and personal attacks on the individual.
Perhaps within the children who are now entering our Primary Schools, there will be orators of the future who can make a point whether it be in the boardroom or in Parliament without resorting to the baser elements of discussion and debate.
