Seychelles is accustomed to 'decisive' leadership. In Max Weber’s terms, Albert Rene‘s presidency was arguably based on 'patrimonial one state' authority while James Michel Presidency is essentially the same leadership differentiated with 'charismatic non directional' authority within a so called pluralist atmosphere. The most common element is the top down, strict control exercised to the benefit of the centre through the security apparatus (i.e. Army).Public services to almost everything else are still implemented through a hierarchical apparatus that is designed not to meet the needs of the people, but to accord with the strategic interests of central actors and their cronies. Seychelles continues to experience weak government, economic hardship and social suffering which is alarming and unjustifiable for a beautiful small island country with less than 100,000 people. Finally, time is slowly closing down and the people of Seychelles have seen with their own eyes the real truth what was foretold by the real legitimate patriots of our mother land. The final questions are:
Will we finally learn after so many unpleasant lessons?
Will the next election prove new optimism, triumph of personality, good image for Seychelles, popular choice, equity, opportunity, security and peace over the party machine politics and the power of party bosses?

We can always live with hope,that the citizens of Seychelles, now, knows the difference and will make the right choice
