Both of you are holding rallies and public meetings; therefore, we would assume that you probably want our support. I use the word assume, because in most of your actions, it has been evident to us that you probably do not know who we are, nor do you care. We are the faceless, nameless "public". Well, let us also remind you that we are those small people who elect you and help you to attain your place of "fame" and "honour".

Reverting to my question, what exactly are you planning to do with our lives and our children's? Do you have well thought out plans? If you have not yet planned, I would suggest that you stop wasting time on the road, and do the homework. Please come back and tell us in concrete terms, not to just tell us "what" you plan to do but "how" you plan to do things and by "when" you plan to achieve them. We have been hearing all kinds of flowery promises for so many years, it is time for results. In fact, neither of you have duly explained to us how you would like to work for the benefit of the "public" and how you plan to show the results.

You probably think we were too simple minded to understand such intricate matters. Believe me, we would understand! We would understand because it affects our lives, and perhaps our lives only. When the law and order situation deteriorates, our children are unsafe. When the costs of things increase, we have to cut down our consumption. When the education, medical services are unavailable, we suffer. Therefore, we need to understand how you plan to change our lives and in which direction. We can then decide whether we want to support any of you.

Of course, the real question is do you care whether we support you or not? You probably have enough muscles and wealth distributed amongst yourselves that we do not matter to you. You both also probably know that we are scared of you. We are living lives crippled with fear. Yet both of you give speeches in meetings on how important it is that we support you.

I guess it is time for both of you to ponder on some simple questions Does the "public" like you? Do they trust you? Or are they just scared of you. If it is only a relationship of fear and tyranny, don't you think ultimately numbers would outrun you? We may be scared and infirm, but we are so many!
