Those not online can also listen to the radio and read the newspaper. This same message was carried on those media.

@Shanaiye

Guess I should have made myself clearer.........the "games" comment was in reference to the message not being carried on our lone tv station..........

[Shanaiye]

Why has the notion of 'political game' been introduced? Who or what is 'playing a political game'? and what it the relevance of that to this independence message?

Utilizing media outlets is not a political game, it is good sense. If you want to get your message out you must exhaust all available to you to get maximum effect. This is not where the game is... the game is when you tell people one thing and then do something else, and then blame someone or something else for it, rather than taking responsibility for your folly.

@SuperGFlash I also hate political games. The running of a country is not a game, but some seem to take it as an opportunity to appease themselves rather than to represent the people the way they should. The job of a politician can't be easy and he/she must love it and enjoy it. At times they may go too far in enjoying what they do, but in the end the message of integrity should be clear, whether B, D, or X... and that message is best delivered in actions rather than words. That is the game.

If you are not online in the year 2011 then clearly you are in the bubble that time forgot.

So what happens to the people that are not online??..............These political games really need to stop....shame on all involved in this debacle whetther B, D or X
