Politicians: They’d rather talk at us than with us
In a follow up to my disappointment with the MDC’s cancelled Minister’s feedback meeting, I was interested to get a new text message last night from them:
You are invited to attend the MDC 12th Anniversary Rally at Gwanzura Stadium on Saturday 10 September 2011, Time 10:30am – 4:30pm.
So the community feedback meeting is cancelled. But not the anniversary rally?
It’s hard not to be cynical that this is because politicians find it so much easier to talk at people, rather than speak with them.
