   Your statement reminds me the saying….”If wishes are horses,beggars will ride”. But there is no denial from me that you have a point. what is needed now,if possible is for everyone,the masses to unite with one voice and protest to government that enough is enough, trust me,nothing government is afraid of like seeing masses gather in one voice to dethrone them because they know the evil they are doing.

   Very true! It is also true that in our system money is necessary for one to get involved and most youths do not have the funds. However, if the aspirant youth is not thinking of starting his political career from the top, it is possible. The first thing is to join a social group, maybe at your place of worship or your town meeting group.be very active in running errands and serving them. Also make your opinions known when issues are discussed. People will notice you and will note if you have a good head on your shoulders. When stronger political groups approach your group for support….as they usually do… You will be among your group’s spokespeople and will negotiate ward level posts for your group in exchange for supporting the larger group land larger posts. Next time your own group will target the bigger posts with their support. Bit by bit you penetrate the caucus and climb the political ladder.
   It is possible so don’t dismiss it as a dream. As my late father would say….nothing venture, nothing get !!!
