@Dorcas,

You are right on one account... *Politricks*

But the question is, who should be the *judge* of the difference between
Politics & Politriks ? Another politician? Political party in power?

And that is why we have The Courts, CAK (Although their independence based
on the recent happenings & Wangusi Saga, is in doubt)  that are supposed to
be the neutral arbiter!

Remember in just about every major atrocity that has happened in human
history, those in power are more often responsible, than those not in power!
