The divide between the rich and the poor

During the election campaign, truth will be given no shrift at the expense of long term social development.  Promises will be made for undeliverables, debts pledged, and money will change hands all for a 5 year seat in the hallowed ground of the Seychelles National Assembly. 

No reference will be made to solutions for the growing divide between the rich and poor.  People receiving 3 salaries plus allowances will move into the background as the masses needs and wants are put on display for rich pickings in the ballot box. 

Desperation will be exploited to its maximum, for it is the key to a potential voter’s support.  All manner of skullduggery will appear for the road to perdition is based on telling the truth.  Truth is an anathema to the current ruling powers process. Here in the Seychelles, the divide between the rich and poor is not getting any narrower.
