DEAR EDITOR—I can’t help thinking that the opposition MDC did not have a plan for the run-off when they have been talking about it all the time. This is a definite decoy.
If it’s not, I can only guess that since Gordon Brown lost dismally in the local elections in the United Kingdom, the MDC has not been able to have access to him as he restructures his party and take stock of all his policies, so they are waiting to hear from him.
Anyone who has been dependent, ideologically, on the MDC is now in a quandary.
The EU is in trouble as they also depended on the stewardship of the Labour Party for the last ten years.
With signs of Brown crumbling, the whole Labour Party/MDC project is now fragile and Tsvangirai and the rest can only wait in the wings.
This probably explains their indecision over the run-off.
If they are trying to get Zanu PF and the people of Zimbabwe by surprise, they should remember that their plan might backfire, if they are not careful.
We have always said anything that is not home-grown will not stand the test of time.
This could prove to be one of those fragile projects that almost was, but never really got there.

I totally agree with you. The Zimbabwe situation needs people to be humble, seek to understand each other and come up with home grown solutions because they are sustainable in the long run.
I would rather we struggle a little bit more if that means we will be compelled to sit down as a result because I dont believe in mass movements revolutions- based solutions which are externally instigated but in a home grown evolution process.
