Elections- The price for peace.

Elections must never be taken for granted, elections are an ingenious invention, they are the price for peace, they enable a population to buy into a feeling of being important from time to time by virtue of their vote, they allow for a renewal of direction, a check on overruns and excess, a measure of suitability of elected office bearers and much more.

Malawi runs its elections in a week, which I won't participate in but whatever the result, the main players both fit the technical profile of what I would want in a leader of a nation that seeks economic empowerment, both can read economics, so I leave the task to my countrymen and will respect their choice. Which horse will win? the odds say horse Bingu, but as Kenny Rogers sang "You never count your money when youre sittin' at the table, there'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done". I on the other hand will try the MEP elections for EU Parliament come June 4th.

Let peace and prosperity prevail. A better future must be the motto.
