By failing to implement even one democratic reform in the five years of the NGU all MDC leaders have shown that they are both corrupt and breathtakingly incompetent.
For anyone to still consider anyone of them as serious potential candidate to lead the nation shows that they too do not comprehend the critical importance of the democratic reforms as the only key to dismantling the Zanu PF dictatorship. The individual does not comprehend the price the nation has had to pay because Mugabe was able to blatantly rig the 2013 election. Unemployment has soared to 90% plus, over 300 000 children who should be in school are not because their parents are too poor to pay their fees, 16% or 2 million Zimbabweans are living in abject poverty today, etc.; these things would have still happened because turning round the economic was not going to be accomplished in a few months but at least the turn round would have started.
I expect the ordinary Zimbabwean peasant in Zimbabwe's backwaters to still consider MDC as a viable political proposition because Zanu PF has done a great job in keeping them ignorant. End the Zanu PF control of the media and grant the people their freedom of expression and association, which is one of the democratic reforms which should have been implemented, and these rural folk will see MDC leaders for the blundering incompetent idiots they are. They will leave the MDC factions in droves and none will vote for such incompetent leaders.
The rural people are ignorant but they are not stupid; they will never follow blindly incompetent leaders like Tsvangirai if they had all the facts proving just how incompetent he is.
It is people who have all the facts and therefore should know better about failed leaders like MDC leaders who nonetheless ignore the facts are still try to sell failed leaders as potential national leaders who are doing the nation a great disservice. The voters who for whatever reasons do not have all the facts will are likely to heed to their recommendation.
Zimbabwe is in this political and economic hell-hole because the nation elected tyrants like Mugabe and incompetent idiots like Tsvangirai into power. We are not going to get out of this hell-hole by recycling the same failed leaders. People like Ncube and Biti have already proven that they are breathtakingly incompetent; are we so incompetent we cannot see it or is it that we lack the courage to admit it or both?!
Zimbabwe will only prosper and climb out of this political and economic hell-hole when we have competent leaders. By fostering on the nation recycled incompetent leaders like Tsvangirai, Biti, Ncube and the other MDC failed leaders much worse murderous tyrants like Mugabe, Mnangagwa and the other Zanu PF thugs because we are too lazy create a political system capable of producing competent leaders; we are only fooling ourselves.
