Governance planks in the past
Of course, political parties have used different governance 
planks in the past. For example, Christian Democrats in Europe, and Republicans in the US have focused more on terrorism and internal security, while Social Democrats in Europe and Democrats in the US have concentrated more on labour and health policy. But then, how does one justify the quite clear-cut jingoism in the past few years that has reverberated across even American vote banks? Rodrigues accepts, “Post 9/11, immigration, race and religion have fast taken over frontal positions in the election rhetoric. Parties with little or no focus on development have won in Holland, Denmark and Switzerland, solely based on xenophobic plank. Even in the US, we’re now discussing more about a woman (Hillary Clinton) challenging an Afro-American (Obama) and an Evangelical challenging a Mormon. But I can confirm, this is a passing phase.”
Unmistakably, there is no clear-cut correlation that can be drawn out globally between good governance and re-election, or election. While in some limited parts of the world, that equation still holds, in many other parts of the world, politicians continue to play the role of shrewd re-musketeers, simply repackaging non-governance oriented fustian balderdash to appeal to mass perception. Quite sonorously, in these cases, magniloquent pomposity – driven by fundamentalist/religious/extremist ideologies – works better towards re-election than transparent governance and development efforts.
The scenario, in such a case, is nothing short of chillingly frightening. How far lies the time when an extremist or terrorist outfit – backed by fanatical rants and like-minded mass support – comes to power in a nation that has the capacity to manufacture nuclear bombs? Mahmoud Ahmadinejad became the ‘democratically’ elected President of Iran in August 2005. Ahmadinejad continues, despite global opposition, to develop Iran’s nuclear program, professedly for only peaceful purposes. Ahmadinejad stands tall by his incorrigibly contumacious statement that the nation of Israel must be wiped off the map. How far lies the time when he puts his money where his mouth is?
