People around the world are tired of the old boys club when it comes to politics and positions of supposed power. See the third definition below. New and different people are campaigning for office. This is a good thing.
BUT, voters need to stop and research the candidates carefully before casting their vote. Rodrigo Duterte is the new president of the Philippines. He is very vocal on his non-legal means of dealing with problems and problem people. The Philippines have an extremely high murder count of journalists. Duterte called the murdered journalists names. He said that they deserved murder. This man is advocating hit squads on journalists. The voters should not have fallen sway to his charms.
This man has been called the "Trump of the east." Perhaps voters should research candidates better. That way they will not be called a "bad person" who has to fear the actions of the person in office.
I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
