3. Our leaders have lost touch

Thu Nov 6, 2014, 11:02 PM

Nov 2014

I am thinking the few elected officials in my area will be getting a contact from me telling them they must still have the touch and so they need to start using that power to appoint and bring forward new leaders. Those new leaders will be those who have proven they too still are in touch.

No more loud mouths who are in it for themselves and their own personal glory or money. The turnout proves the present day party leaders are failures. The only winners we have are those who got reelected this time, for they have shown they are in touch with the people.
