ODM DEFECTORS ARE WITHIN THEIR RIGHT TO CHANGE SIDES.

Recently I did a Facebook post on "why politicians are quite within their right to change sides without consulting voters" and boom! I was baptized all sorts of names. Some event went to the extent of insinuating that am so naive to what the law says. I felt pity we are in the generation where people are so opinionated rather than being informed.

Democracy is something that is emulated from the Greece city states. For those who might not know, democracy basically means "rule by the people." When the population escalated in the city states, they opted to practice indirect democracy which when you come right down to it meant that someone was elected to represent a larger majority. It is fabled that this person elected has the interests of his constituents at heart and does whatsoever he does for the betterment of his constituents. Political parties were fashioned on the basis of democracy. They are said to be a prerequisite to democracy attainment.
