Higher highs - Lower lows

Grabbed the power
They came to power with promises. Deceptive promises with absolutely no intention of fulfilling them. Grabbing the power at any cost was the prime objective. They did achieve the objective. MDP took the reigns of the Maldives government on 11 November 2008.

Numbered days
Today, with just a half of their presidential term remaining, MDP leadership is twitchy because of the low public approval. But they should not be, as its is they who promised higher highs and lower lows to win over the hearts and minds of people and get the government.

Broken promises
We will lower the dollar rate.... MDP promised.
We will lower the cost of living.... MDP promised.
We will lower the crime rate ..... MDP promised.
We will increase the standard of living... MDP promised.
We will improve the public services ... MDP promised.

Malidivians now know
Maldivians are intelligent and highly politically aware. The government 'could fool some people some times, but can't fool all the people all the times' (as Bob Marley sings). People know that the MDP promises of lower lows has risen to higher highs and everything that the government promised to improve on has fallen to lower lows.The MDP government has failed big time. That much, people now know.

Final countdown
The goverment should not be discontent of the low public approval rating they have today, but should rather be seriously concerned that their presidency would be at best just a single term. As with the past two elections of Parliament and the Local Councils,  the people of Maldives would be the judge the jury and the executioner of the Presidential Elections 2013. They would give meaning to higher highs and lower lows.
