Coming closer to home in Goa, imagine the Chinese concept of selection and then election being set in motion. It will mean: First weed out all the criminals, the poorly educated, the openly corrupt and then put up for elections only the persons thus vetted. https://youtu.be/ZZEvYKe7w9g Roland. Toronto.
