The only thing I can say with certainty is his insatiable greed has ballooned and so has his wife's greed. The idea that she can one day be anything below First Lady has fired her up she has left no stone unturned in her bid to succeed Mugabe. When that failed, she decided Mugabe will have to rule from his grave just so she remains First Lady! How stupid is that!<br /><br />The tyrant has destroyed the country and should not be in office for another day. He is in power only be-cause he rigs elections. <br /><br />So as you can see, I am not so easily bowled over by the number of years you or anyone has been in that position or lived in such and such a place.<br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937946029621043741.post-60712495911410686562016-06-27T04:40:56.103-07:002016-06-27T04:40:56.103-07:00@ Msipa
What you are really arguing here is the P...@ Msipa<br /><br />What you are really arguing here is the PM David Cameron should have fought hard to find ways of ignoring the democratic wishes of the majority. Why don’t just come out and say he should have gone to Mugabe for expert advice on how to rig the vote and the Zimbabwe tyrant would have even pay NIKUV to tamper with the voters roll is the British wished. PM Cameron would have been absolutely certain of no regime change then! <br /><br />Where is the commitment to granting the people their right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country if you are going to ignore or worse still rig their say? <br /><br />When Mugabe rigged the 2013 elections there was an avalanche of articles from Zimbabwe’s intellectuals all arguing the same thing – that we should just accept the rigged result as fait accompli and move on. Here we have a case where there was free, fair and credible referendum and there is yet another avalanche of article all arguing one thing – do everything possible to reverse the democratic wishes of the populous. For all their pretences to love democracy none of these intellectuals real care about democracy except if it serves their selfish interests. Their democratic credentials are potato skin thick; it does take much to rub off, to reveal the brute tyrant in his multi-colours like Joseph’s coat! <br /><br />“The question in most people's minds is whether the referendum result "to leave" is legally binding on the United Kingdom,” you say. The UK is a democracy where the democratic right of the people to a meaningful say in the governance of the nation is sacrosanct and therefore there is no question of parliament trying to ignore the result. It is only a question in those sick minds of tyrants whose potato skin democratic coat has rubbed off already! <br /><br />PM David Cameron has done the right thing by resigning because he is surely not the right person to captain the ship now given he never believed in leaving the EU. Now that the decision to leave has been made; he should let someone who believes in where the nation is going lead. He, unlike some tyrants we know, has the humility to know he is not the only person capable of leading the nation! <br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.com
