There is no final word and no standard rule in politics as long as it serves you. The political leadership of the country seems to be working on this very principle. The leader that is designated as dirty by the WikiLeaks is at the helm of the affairs even though he has his popularity graph spiralling down in a plunge. On the other hand, the leader that is popular is restricted to only one province due to his limited political exposure in other provinces. But, the same leader is also designated as dangerous by the whistleblower website, which complicates the situation even more for us.
How unfortunate for us that we have had more than our fair share of bad luck in the political scenario. Not only we have been slapped with their inefficiency and corruption but also we have to bear with the criticism from the leaders of other countries. I doubt there would be an angel in politics but still if you have to choose between two evils, the general rule is to choose the lesser one.
