Political Calculations

Thisday columnist, Olusegun Adeniyi wrote last Thursday that we have become so disingenuously calculating that today “…..16 is officially recognized as a bigger number than 19 while a “majority” of five is now enough to impeach a speaker in a House of Assembly where there are 32 members”

Check out this Dec 2008 cartoon. It is the closest reminder that our politicians have been very dexterous at manipulating figures for a long time and they are not about to change. Does anybody remember the details of the event that inspired the cartoon?
