    Default The Oposition party performances

    Wow, ok, so slowly but surely trend is visivble who is the clear leader in being the official opposition. It further seem like UDF is right behind RDP, taking the 3rd runner up position. NUDO seem to be getting more support than COD. DTA and NUDO being plus minus neck to neck.

    What are the sentiments around these trends? Let's talk!!!!

    My sentiments

    A large majority of Namibians "many whom have no hope no job and no food" think that the SWAPO government is doing a good job.

    One thing is sure , i have a quick answer next time i am asked for a few dollars
    for bread.

    i had a lot of sympathy for people i see who need a break and help when i can.

    not so much anymore
    power corrupts , absolute power spends my taxes on really really stupid things.

    ...and it shows from the majority sentiments after the opposition case had been 'disqualified' on 'technical' grounds that Namibians could not care much for justice to prevail judging from most of them sighing in relief the latest elections do not need to be tested in the court of law....

    I believe if really the 'special circumstances' criteria were not met, clear indication would have been for the application not to be accepted, nor filed, nor leading to any court hearing in the first place, so while I have respect for our justice system I think it was an 'easy way out' for such a ruling.

    Well I hear there might be an appeal to such judgement, so let's wait and see how this court saga turns out, then check, should there be a re-election, what lessons Namibians may have learned out of voting for tribe rather than for own benefits and for a more agile Government of the day.
