Leaders are stunned...Reg and Oates are on the ball. Leaders are stunned to know that people have totally lost respect of them. Independents should make political parties know that many of them are convenience groups. People will throw them out. It is a new era for new leadership.

Most countries in the world where leaders are elected, suffer from the same problem.<br /><br />The essence of the problem is that electors do not really elect their own leaders. The people who elect these people are the relatively few members of the political parties that who the candidates belong to. The voters in a general election may think that they vote for the candidate of their choice but in fact they are voting for the candidate of the political party's choice.<br /><br />The politicians who then are elected then subsequently feel they have 'earned' the right to become leaders yet exactly what have they achieved in real leadership experience, prior to being elected and what selection procedures have they met in order to become so called leaders?<br /><br />The political selection process is therefore axiomatically flawed. Yet it does not have to be so. <br /><br />The issue is one of selection: The political leaders who are elected need to be personally able to handle the egocentric dilemma of public expectation and becoming well known and in the public eye BUT to accept that they need to in turn, have a responsibility to select non elected, but competent administrative leaders who can operate and run the nation for the political leaders who are responsible to the voters. <br /><br />Political leaders must understand that they personally may not be the best people to run the country yet who is there in high public office that has the necessary intelligence to recognise or understand this problem?<br /><br />Show me any political leader from any country that can cope with this conundrumPaul Oatesnoreply@blogger.com
