Drifting along on the current political flow, the best place to watch the pace of election speed up is at the Mulifanua wharf.
Some very important public figures are seen with the masses either boarding or leaving the Lady Samoa more often now than before.
Surprise! Surprise! Well, it shouldn’t be really.
We’re down to the last 6 months or so before we vote. Time to hang around with your constituents if you’re an MP.
We have to feel for the MPs campaigning in Savaii.
For the politicians in Upolu, it’s a simple matter of jumping in your car and driving out to the villages.
Different story for the Savai’i crowd with a ‘car-boat-car’ arrangement. When you’re hoping in and out of your car or the Lady Samoa, there’s a good chance of being seen along the way.
But it’s not just the current MPs you’ll get to see. There’ll be ex-MPs as well going to the villages for the same reasons.
There’s another added crowd set also – the party campaigners and entourage of ‘hangers on.’ Whoever is paying for their travel costs is hardly a mystery.
If you want some fun traveling to the big island or returning….look around. Check out who’s swaying on the boat with you.
