I blame all of you

By

Dear MyPE

The “you” I am referring to is each and every single politician, I know there are good ones out there, but even they have disappointed so many. As a politician you have a responsibility to us mere mortals that so many of you look down upon. We’re in the middle of a pandemic, and what are politicians doing? Stuffing their faces, pockets and pointing fingers.

I blame you for not having the true courage it takes to send blatant criminals to jail, prosecuting corruption instead of starting another useless money wasting task force or committee. I blame you for every single child that goes hungry, is unable to take a warm bath or sleep in a proper bed. I blame you for this country’s water, sanitation and electricity problems.

I blame you for every single job lost, not only during the lockdown but before that. I blame you for restricting our economic potential and not embracing free trade by constantly trying to take control and implementing even more restrictive policies.

I blame you for not planning properly, you’ve been caught with your pants down and the visible crack have now turned into canyons.

You failed.

Regards

Edward Labuschagne
