Recent events in Kenya leave me asking did democracy ever really exist?



In response to a comment by the minister of Internal affairs about the consequences of rattling snakes; the following comment on BBC speaks better than I would have on the matter:

This government of self-declared snakes better beware. There is an electorate of mongooses waiting their chance to remove you. Once snakes have tasted the forbidden fruit of corrupt deals there is no going back. They need to be removed from the garden to a jail together with their henchmen in the police and civil service.

I sure hope that this will be true come the next election. There is a need for citizens to keep voting in elections- Let's work to trade in the leaders until there comes one for whom the shoe fits...
