I think the private affairs of politicians should remain private, unless they have broken the law.

If voters are unhappy with a politician and think that having affairs speaks poorly of his character, they can vote for someone else at the next GE. But to demand that he accounts to us for his private life may be asking too much of him.

Well said. u summarize my view on dis in one brief sentence.

I agreed!!

what matter is not whether ysl had an affair or not, but how he is handling the pr crisis now. by not commenting, many would think that he is guilty.


some people think politicians should be saints and private-political life is the same. others think not.

No I didn't. I called the gullible, gullible. I did not call all the WP supporters gullible.

In some posts, you seems to imply that those who doesn't believe in un-substantiated rumours as \"gullible\"..

isn't it?

[limlim]

ahtiu:

But hey, maybe we should make use of this issue and have an Ads campaign for Safe Sex .. if YSL really made someone Preg..
haha... with YSL face on it saying \"Dun Be Like Me... use the Cap \" :rotflmao:

And the reverse with Angela saying \"Put it on before you put it in?\"

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Who will the the witness who will testify? LTK? CSM? Sylvia? AO's husband? The doctor, as you so imply? The maid?

Who is it, who is in possession of the information, will be motivated to do anything other than keep a tight lid on things?

Why does LTK dare to issue a gag order? If he did not feel that he had at least a reasonable chance of keeping on top of the information, would he not have issued something by now?

Therefore, in the absence of such information, which will not be forthcoming, does not one then look to what has in fact been said.

I say again, despite repeated questioning, the responses have been; \"We do not comment on rumours\", \"We have nothing to add\", \"I am not taking questions\"

There has not been a single denial or clarification issued despite pointed questioning. They are just hoping that this will blow over. This is obvious to all except the die-hardest of supporters, who will create excuses for them when they have not even tried to create one for themselves. That is the saddest part.

This is not the behaviour of a political party aspiring to greater heights.

Again, I DO NOT pass judgement on YSL. I agree that he is entitled to his privacy, and good luck to all of them in solving their personal mess, it is a real tragedy IMO. As a public figure however, there are greater expectations. When things blow, you either clarify, or bear the stigma of doubt. There is no free ride.

LTK's gag order is gag-worthy. It compromises the principles of the party. It hampers their present and future political performance. It tarnishes their credibility. It's cynical subtle abuse of their supporters.

You as the WP supporter, can do your role by demanding some accountability and transparency from the leadership. If you don't, the next time something comes along, they will do the same thing to you again. And you will find yourself trying to defend them when they aren't even trying to defend themselves.
