Dear Editor,

Until now, Madam Prime Minister, I believed you were capable of better leadership than what has been played.

You have what I regard as a reasonably good team around you, providing you the critical support that you desperately need in the governing of this country. But, to have so many of your young promising members of parliament so disaffected that they have taken to the streets, as they have, suggests an obvious lack of ability, on your part, to guide and lead, resulting in this apparent high level of disillusionment in your camp.

With so many senior members of parliament — part of whose role should be to mentor and support the young people — I am shocked and distressed at the drama and ‘bangarang’ being played out.

Really? Are we supposed to take you people seriously? The stupidity is contemptuous of decent, intelligent and progressive citizens of our beloved country. How many more people are you all going to turn off from the political process?

My God help us.
