Three leaders place their own interests over those of their constituents
KAMLOOPS — Three different political events these past few weeks have me wondering where we went wrong and where are we headed.
We have the Donald Trump and James Comey battles and the looming Russiagate. This followed quickly by British PM Theresa May and her post election (Brexit) disaster. And then there is our Premier’s current minority government state of affairs.
All three share a troubling and growing trend. A trend that seems to pay scant if any attention to the needs, concerns or rights of the people they have been elected to govern.
For example: Trump has been told by the former head of the FBI that there is absolutely no doubt Russia attempted to interfere with the American election. James Comey’s testimony at last week’s Senate hearing was a clear, concise and straightforward statement indicating Russia invested a tremendous amount of effort and resources in an attempt to influence the outcome of the American election.
