I continue to hear some strange statements about politics from persons who are supposed to know better. For example, when a journalist says that a government used its majority to push through something in parliament, it is an unnecessary statement. What else would the government use? That is what politics is all about, and that is how government operates. You support an idea, and you get things done because you have the majority. That is democracy at work.
Many people have turned politics into a bad word. I must admit that the way politicians treat one another is not surprising, given the public's perception of them.
People will say that politicians only put people from their part on boards. You cannot expect someone to carry out the mandate of a democratically elected government unless the minister is comfortable with the thinking of that person. It is unlikely for example, for a catholic, a baptist school to appoint a chair who is not a member of the church.
