Governance Continuity Urged: Beyond Partisan Politics for State Progress
Imagine the government is like a team running a race.
The best way to win is for each runner (government) to work together, not tear down what the previous runner (previous government) did.
This means finishing long-term projects, like building power plants and helping people with welfare programs, even if a new team takes over.
It's important for the new team to ask the old team for advice and make sure they're all working towards the same goal.
Criticizing everything the previous team did, or stopping projects just because the other team started them, doesn't help anyone.
Instead, teams should agree and work together to make their state better for everyone.
The article emphasizes the importance of policy continuity and consultation in governance.
Successor governments should ideally build on the work of their predecessors, especially regarding long-term projects and social welfare.
Criticizing or dismantling projects initiated by previous administrations can undermine citizen faith in governance.
Consensus and collaboration between governing parties and the opposition are crucial for state progress.
The true spirit of democracy lies in giving space to other’s views, which happens when governments listen with humility
