I
have learned that a true leader sees it as his or her mission to create broad
alliances, to bring people of different convictions together. Therefore, when I
am asked to give an opinion about any political personality, that is always my
point of departure. Is he or she a consensus builder? Every society has its own
divisions and lines of fracture. The leader knows that but does not try to take
advantage of it.
My advice is very straightforward. Look at the person who is in a position of
power and assess if such a politician is a divisive or an inclusive leader. Then,
you have a clear-cut criterion to judge.
And you decide based on your own
understanding of what it means to live in a nation. If you are a progressive individual,
you will see harmony and social cohesion as part of the national wealth.
