My thoughts on the election

I was neutral to all parties before the election. Personally, I was worried too many cooks spoilt the kitchen. After hearing both sides verbal attacks, doubts began to form on the ruling party ability to lead. One of the famous phrase used was “ Despite knowing the perils in walking to a tiger filled mountain, I purposely walked forward”. When someone in an ordinary situation used this phrase, it meant that he or she is moving forward despite the danger ahead. This phrase represents courage. When the ruling elite heard this phrase, they assumed that it meant they were a tiger. Anger was written over their face and it seemed that they were highly irritated over a neutral remark. The wife of the ruling elite added that whoever kill my tiger will be deal with. Aren’t they over reacting on a neutral remark? Then there was the hype over co-driver or pilot. The underdog suggested that if the driver is sleeping on the wheel, the co-driver has to slap the driver awake. I do this all the time to my brother if he drives recklessly. The ruling elite assumed again that the co-driver wanted to tussle with the wheel with the driver. Again, the underdog(or I) never said they wanted to tussle with the wheel. They merely wanted the driver to wake up if they were on the wrong track.

If the analogy was wrong, then as a champion for thirty years, let it go. Why keep harping on such a little comment. It seemed that the ruling elite is unduly concerned with minor issues that the opposition made and claimed that it was a personal attack on their integrity, etc…… well in my humble opinion a true champion would have said “No comments” or ignore those minor comments completely. By responding excessively to such minor comments, it is clear to me that the ruling party is inconfident, unsure and perhaps shaking in fear that their empire is unravelling. Michael Phelps (8 gold medals Olympic winner) did not say the competitors have deeper ambition, lack a plan, do not have any substance or is a celebrity. Luckily he did not say if you support the competitor, you will have to repent. Before his competition, he mind his own business ( listen to his favourite song to perk him up) and relax his muscle. Before his swim, he chat or shake hand with competitors. This is a true champion behavior. Well this is truly a national disgrace to see this level of pettiness in a top management team. They are behaving like kids fighting over a “class chairman” award. HAHA. Amazing.

The ruling elite also accused the underdog that their accounts is messy. If the underdog had thrown similar accusations, they would have lost their pants (bankrupt). HAHA. What an unfair world!

The best part is this. There is a boy who wanted very much to be re-elected as a chairman again. In his term, he was supposed to guard a mad dog who will bite anyone. Due to some strange reasons, he let the dog escaped. Luckily the dog did not bite anyone. But the worst part is, he did not apologise and repent, instead he said “let us move on”. Amazingly, he was not sacked by the teacher. Now when his term expire and he wanted to be re-elected, he apologise to the whole class.

I guess we know who to vote now. Do u?
