WEEK GOVT AND WEEK OPPOSITION
I hope you mean "WEAK".
Now, as we know the present members of the Government and the Opposition are elected by the the people of this Country. ( including you and me - I'll say WE)
So..., isn't it correct to say ... WEEK GOVT AND WEEK OPPOSITION ?
you get leaders you deserve.
Rather, isn't it more appropriate to say ...it is the weakness within us !!!
An elderly farmer was in the Emergency Ward having stitches put in his
hand, due to an accident with a piece of machinery.
The doctor carrying out the procedure struck up a conversation with the old
man. Eventually the topic got around to Politicians and their role as our
leaders.
The old farmer said, "Well, you know, most Politicians are 'Post
Tortoises'.''
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him, what a 'Post
Tortoise' was?
The old farmer said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come
across a fence post with a tortoise balanced on top, that's a post
tortoise."
The old farmer, seeing the puzzled look on the doctor's face,
continued to explain.
"You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he
doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he's elevated beyond his
ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dumb jackass put him
up there to begin with."
Or Should they be called "Vata Uda Ibbek"
