When I was young, well much younger that is, I was brought up to believe ‘honesty is the best policy’. For some years now it seems ‘fake it till you make it’ is the route, if success, in whatever field (not the World Cup football field/pitch) is your goal in life. Currently, on the political front, one questions the true aim of many politicians. Is it to represent their party to achieve manifesto goals, or simply for financial gain? Unfortunately, many it seems, maybe even most, satisfying their own ego, lifestyle and financials is. Certainly putting ones country first at times is really questionable.
Meanwhile common people continue to be repeatedly misled by those who deliver miss-information and repeatedly break manifesto goals. Are we living in a period where ‘fake it’ is the theme, 'all talk' is the way ahead and responsibility for actions is never taken? Is it always someone else’s/country’s fault for failing?
Let’s hope positive changes evolve, where people’s lives really do matter and politician, like in any other profession, must deliver!
