To keep on imploring a government to do this and to do that is just useless.
Absolutely useless.
I mean when it is done by an intellectual, a journalist, a columnist, an analyst, a civil society organization, an alliance of CSOs, an NGO, an alliance of NGOs, talk show hosts, a think tank, a political group, etc.
Simply because all the politicians, whoever they are and wherever they are, do what they want to do. And they do what keeps them surviving in power in shorter terms. They have no long-term view of their survival. That’s why their politics is confined to the day-to-day political survival of theirs.
So, when is it useful? How can it be useful?
It is useful only when a political group or a political party with wider support and following implores a government to do something. It has weight, since behind it speak the people, whose majority enjoys the ultimate say in a democracy.
