I completely agree with you and I even heard that Gambians are scared away
from this forum because it involves to much politics and calling names to
eachother. This can even prove to be dangerous for the future, it is better
to debate partypolicies instead of attacking persons, now you see a
polarising of politics, people are against something simply because it is an
idea of the other party. And how can you expect someone to speak freely and
openly if you treaten him with NIA or how can you believe that a person will
take you seriously if you call him publicly a dirimo? With the
octoberelections it is very probably that more strong partys will emerge and
they will have to talk to eachother to form a government together, if you
are polarising politics like you are doing now, talking and listening will
be impossible, and it is very likely that one party will force its policy
than and commit another coup!
