Elected V Unelected
Elected V Unelected
Editor,
You have, on the one hand, the most powerful president (Barack Obama) in the most powerful country on planet earth (USA) having to fight like hell to get re-elected for another 4 years in office and you have, on the other hand, lousy unelected leaders in Third World banana republics who can stay on in power for 8 years and more without having to fight any elections.
Extraterrestrials watching us Earthlings must be saying to themselves " They are a weird mob!"
They'd be right.
Sincerely,
Rajend Naidu
Sydney
