Growing up all I ever seemed to hear was the need for more and more democracy. Democracy was the only way! In light of the various problems challenges relating to elections either in Zimbabwe, the UK and even Kenya, we are now seeing an increase in the coalition government. Perhaps it’s just me? It seems the increase in coalition governments is yet another reminder that we need each other to resolve our common challenges. I look at the debt crisis in Europe right now. To resolve it, leaders have resigned and are being replaced by ‘coalition leaders’ in an effort to resolve the crisis. This is yet another reminder that we need each other more than we often realise.
Together we can…

me thinks coalitions simply show that democracy is failing. they expose the ever increasing conspiracy between business and politicians against ordinary people. its like the two saying to the masses ‘look, you don’t understand and you dont really know whats good for you, so let us just decide for you.’ me thinks they aught to be signed after referandums and this provision should be enshrined in all constitutions.

Yes indeed re your points. It’s also interesting to see how countries like Greece and Italy are handling the situation at the moment. There are lessons to be learned from their experiences I believe.Curious to hear how Kenya’s coalition government is working and what needs to be done going forward.
