A Gentle Reminder:
Presidents, Ministers, Members of Parliament, Councillors and all public representatives are your servants. They exist solely to represent your interests as citizens. We are your “leaders” simply because you elected us to be in positions of authority. Truth of the matter is, the ultimate leaders in a society are the people.
The people delegate their power to a few to be in decision making bodies like Municipal Councils and Parliament. That doesn’t change the fact that the people in these positions are given power by the people and must exercise that public power in a manner that advances the interests of the people and must always be answerable to the public.
When we go to the elections in November, remember to vote for your SERVANTS. Do not vote for BOSSES that do not sympathise with your struggles and view something as a problem only when it affects them personally.
