Voreqe's nutty-take on Fijian politics

Fiji’s (Illegal) Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama says his government (military regime) wants to put a stop to ordinary Fijians being used for political gain by leaders in politics and in churches. How has ordinary Fijians being used for political gains? Can you please, be specific and precise. Give examples and evidence of your claims.

Speaking during his first official visit this year to Nalotawa Village in the western province of Ba, the Illegal PM said most of the time, Fijians, especially those in the rural areas, were being used in what he said was useless talk for dirty politics. Again, how? Please, give us some concrete examples.

“No more will Fijians be used in dirty politics or racist issues. We want Fiji to become prosperous and we want you to become successful,” Bainimarama said. That is what we all want Voreqe - TO BE PROSPEROUS AND SUCCESSFUL.  But with loose cannons like you, who use GUNS to instil fear on the people, it's not going to happen. And you keep dragging us down to the pits with your illegal and barbaric actions.

“We want to make sure that come the 2014 elections, we will not be dealing anymore with any dirty politics as such,” he told the villagers. Again, give us examples of "dirty politics." What about dirty military politics like you are currently practicing - huh?  

And come the elections in 2014, DO TAKE A STAND AND SHOW POLITICIANS HOW TO BE POLITICIANS, IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THEM in playing GOOD POLITICS, as opposed to DIRTY POLITICS, like you have mentioned here. DON'T STAND ASIDE AND BE A SUPERVISOR, KEEPING US ON EDGE KNOWING THAT ANYTIME YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT THE POLITICIANS ARE DOING, YOU WILL USE YOUR GUNS ON THEM AND US! 2014 is your LEGAL chance to "WALK YOUR WALK AND TALK YOUR TALK" LEGALLY! Prove us wrong for not believing in your mission! Go on VOREQE...PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!

“We want our leaders in politics, in churches and in all cross-sections of the community to be good role models, not to involve people in politics,” he added. NOW, this is the most idiotic thing (amongst all the other IDIOTIC rhetorics we've heard before). How can the people not be involved in politics? At the end of the day, the PEOPLE HAVE A STAKE IN POLITICS. The PEOPLE get to vote. The PEOPLE get to choose. Politicians cannot choose themselves to lead themselves. The PEOPLE do that. That is why it is called DEMOCRACY - POWER BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE.


And talking about good role models. What about good military role models? At the moment you're ALL falling short of that criteria. So, first, pull that wool from your eyes, before you want to pluck the splinter from the eyes of other leaders in politics, church and across our Fiji community.

Villagers raised wide-ranging concerns from inaccessibility to urban areas due to poor road conditions to the need for a reliable supply of water.

The PM was invited there by the tikina (district) of Yakete.

The government has banned the influential Methodist Church from holding its annual conference until 2014, saying the church’s hierarchy needs to remove political elements from its midst.
