The Game of politics

Today,let me talk about politics in campuses.

Politics,a dirty game and at the same time a very smart game.It needs skills,influence, money of course and fame.Campus politics is something I have witnessed.Students basing their political views on their specific tribes,electing or nominating leaders as per their tribal lines.Other students even inciting others, and that,brings a lot of violence and hatred in campuses.

One who wants a position in a campus has to have not only good communication skills but also smart ways of persuasion.Why should we elect you?Why should we trust you?One should give valid reasons as to why they should be put to power.Money!a very important factor,one can easily be bribed by money.If you bribe me with a thousand to buy soda,I’m definitely voting you in, perhaps you will give me more when you get into power.

Once leaders get into power,they forget every promise they kept.We as students just greet them on our way to class,smile at them but nothing is being done.The same old excuses “we are looking into that” is all we get from the “superiors”.

Yes,we expected change,but our hopes were shunned simply because of arrogance and too much power.The leaders feel so important and powerful that they forget we put them there and we can impeach them as well.

Students should choose wisely the leaders they want based on their skills and how best they can handle the school and not elect just for the sake of it.We should be the change we want to see.Leaders won’t change unless we change them and show them how we need the school to be handled.
