Gutter level politics?

Noel D' Oliveiro

Politics in our country has reached an abominable level. To say politicians resort to gutter politics is putting it mildly.

It is one huge embarrassment when we get to discuss politics with foreigners.

Facts have been distorted, lies and innuendos created.

Character assassinations, legal maneuvering and questionable tactics stand out like a sore thumb.

It has become too big, too corrupt, and too controlled by special interests.

Ballot access doesn’t seem a fundamental right anymore.

Free and fair elections have become a myth.

What have they done to our once paradise of a country?
