"We need and is (are) looking for new leaders.
Politicians need not apply. We are the new modern generation thi will soon run be running the Country."
Yes, you probably will, but I am very sure what direction you will be heading. Allowed me, if you will, to tell you the direction that you planned: In worst meat than we are in now, because a Country right does necessary based on modern views, but rather GODLY WISDOM, of selflessness. Until you are ready, you will, if elected to government cabinet, be spoilers.
I wasn't trying to bust your air bubble, it has busted because of it lack of incompetent strength. Relax yourselves.
The topic is about Cruise Ships call and their number, and plans for the next tourist season, not who should win the next election.
There will be no necmxt election date set before we get to know of the CoI recommendations in reference to our political status.
In a foot race or any other race the is a set time to start. Any move forward before the time set can result in a forfeit. You people, middle age, and old people, until the race begins, there can be no winner but me that tell you rush, rush, to be patient, and wait you turn.
