POLITICIANS thinking that if they leave the scene everything will collapse is historically well established in fact go back through history this has been the inevitable downfall of the majority of leaders.

Leaders come with the natural attribute (gift) or develop on the job. Some never develop which causes a stagnant economy - potential for unemployment and sense in society of acceptance or the status quo.

Leaders come and go and believe me there is nothing more obvious than the commonly used phrase when the King or Queen of UK dies...a second before God save the King or Queen a second after their demise, God Save the King or Queen!

The word ‘delusion’ or ‘delusional’ has connotations of some mental deficiency and should therefore be used wisely, however, it certainly is a softer word than what probably a psychologist might use to describe a person who suffers from thinking something which is totally imaginary, especially where it pertains to their personal importance.We can’t miss to add although in the current use of the word against a certain person it could be well used to describe many more who are on the front bench of our government and in so many ways how many of us think and function.

Real leaders know when to leave - Leaders who overstay usually go out with their tail between their legs as ‘losers’.
