Lots has been happening in our politics lately. Needless to say, the recent shocking trend of 'party switching' by prominent CCM politicians has dominated the media. Only a few hours ago, we heard Lawrence Masha and several other CCM figures announce that they were crossing over to the other side. Among other things, what is currently happening in our politics can be arithmetically determined by using a simple maths formula. Let me break it down this way for you:
var X = Y;
if Y = 1 * 100 then X = 100;
Essentially what this means is that not everyone who crosses over to the opposition side will be given a chance to lead; instead, the CCM cadres who 'switch parties' are critical in facilitating an easy CCM downfall without necessarily playing any role on the leadership front bench.
Think of it this way for example:
Each CCM cadre who moves to UKAWA becomes crucial by influencing their family and friends who, say, are 100 in total. So 1 cadre * 100 = 100; Now, what if 100 CCM cadres 'switch parties' in each constituency? You are going to have 100 * 100 family & friends which is equal to 10000 people. Now add up that number for the whole country.
It's like what Mos Def said, "it's all mathematics"!
Nietzsche.
