Maybe the nasty immaturity that has marked much of politicking at National levels is finally starting to ebb away ... With the wise and articulate Barack Obama in d'House in the US, and happenings in Britain this week, perhaps we're seeing a return to civility and sensibility on the part of our elected officials ...This week the death of the six year old son of Conservative Party Leader David Cameron, brought Parliament to a silent and respectful pause to honour the life of young Ivan who had struggled with numerous challenges in his short life. The gracious best wishes offered by Prime Minister to the Cameron family ring true and speak of a respect that transcends political boundaries:
"Every child is precious and irreplaceable and the death of a child is an unbearable sorrow that no parent should ever have to endure. Politics can sometimes divide us, but there is a common human bond that unites us in sympathy and compassion at times of trial and in support for each other at times of grief."
Events lately have been showing Politicians to be respectful, considerate and even wise ... gives me hope in the future.
