That response comment to Vergil Narokobi’s post has been re-posted verbatim below for the benefit of the non-FB readership. How does one rid elections and post election formation of government of the current money element (from vote buy, to rigging electoral lists, to buying parties and members etc)? Click t...

https://hopetrek.wordpress.com/the-pilot-run
Touching hearts and minds through books. I thought it was appropriate that I furnish a report on HT to my employers, not because I was bound by them to do so but because I felt obliged to enlighten them on the fact that this exercise also promotes the ideals and goals that they stand for. Plus I was late for work by a week so I had to justify myself :p. A condensed version of my report was posted on the PWM blog. Below is a slightly edited version (more like carbon copy :) of the original post. In additi...

Musings, Dreams and Chants. Why the Prime Minister has to step down. I cannot remember the last time I was here. It was certainly a long while back as I see the shelves here have been collecting dust. There were a few factors that led to this rather lengthy hiatus, but let’s not get into that now.
