No dogma or purity among the political parties
By Kofi Akosah-Sarpong
Campaigns for
elections in the impending December 2012 general elections are deeply heating
up. Issues, policies and programmes are increasingly dominating the campaigns.
As Ghana`s democracy develops, the years of politics of insults, tribalism, and
acrimony are gradually giving way to politics of issues. Sometimes the
political parties fall over each other over issues. Civility is in the air.
Real democratic maturity is flowering. The issues games are so exciting that
political parties have been accusing each other of stealing ideas from the
other.
