It is said that all is fair in love and war, and admittedly there is an all-out war amongst the parties contesting the local government election and the St Joseph by-election to win at all costs.This is not the time nor place to discuss the truth of the statement "politics has a morality of its own," but certainly the comedy central series that the citizenry is subjected to on a nightly basis, has crossed the boundaries of that which is fair and right.How could senior members of Government, distinguished men and women, sit smiling in support, when one of their party newcomers makes a mockery of independent institutions?This king of the pack has virtually sent a message to the queen of the party that it is he, not she, who is the real celebrity.
And when he arrives at meetings, he is met by the top brass as the crowds shout in joyful acclamation upon his arrival.The household personality basks in all the glory while those much more senior to him in many regards appear to be enjoying and encouraging the ridiculous theatre production.But does the PM really feel comfortable knowing that her latest political sycophant has admitted that he has kept information about criminal activity to himself because he did not want to dance with the likes of her government or the former Commissioner of Police?
