Question well framed! What will it take for a president to deserve a statue? I think the problem has been who will define the question? As a people we haven't settled on a defined collective aspiration. Any question that will require adjudicating on the stewardship of a politician will be a polarized one
The question of who sets the question for politicians to answer is the most important missing component of our democratic journey. As long as the country is run on the myopics of party manifestos rather than an encompassing non-partisan national agenda, we will continue to twist and turn in circles, cursing out politicians for providing us answers to questions we did not initially put to them ourselves.

Indeed! Hopefully this is starting to be slowly realised.

Well said. And we need to be more aware of how the wrong questions deflect attention from the right ones.
