Politicians
A crisis of leadership
Shakes the beliefs of the citizens
The decayed relationships
An embarrassment for the government
The citizens campaign for better management
Change is made
A star is born
Fences mended
But still the citizens worry
Politicians are politicians after all.
Thank goodness for the journalists
Who call them on their bull!!

The last thing voters want after an election is to feel they have made the wrong choice and things will get worse. Count the days down!
