Dear Editor
There is a desperate need for the voice of the people to stand up against all these uncalled comments and actions made by political leaders.
They need to be reminded that we are living in a democratic country and that they are where they are because of our vote. Therefore they can also be removed from where they are by our vote/voice.
For too long were we as public too quiet about the actions of our so called leaders and did we leave it for the opposition parties to handle, but obviously they too are incapable. The time is now for a fresh vehicle through which the voice of the people can be channelled.
The new voice is not a political party, it is not an opposition party, it is merely a vehicle through which the public can raise their concerns, others can give their support and then by using the vehicle as a tool, pressure can be created to move our leaders either into action, or force them to step down. No need to wait till the next election, we need to act now!
It is not just that they are misusing their positions to utter stuff we as the people disagree with, but they are also spending our money on themselves instead of those who are in need.
I am not calling for a country ran by the people, but merely a voice that will keep the politicians accountable for their actions - true democracy!
