[1] All these whispers for "talks" between the warring MDC factions are a waste of valuable time.

At a personal level,I believe in multi-party democracy,meaning that we need as many Opposition parties as well.

Secondly,we are better off without chaotic elitist unification talks

[2] Its quite funny, that Senators Mudzuri & Komichi, as they were campaigning towards the MDC-T EOC, all claimed to posses requisite skills & maturity "to reunite MDC politicians/factions"

Mwonzora is now singing form the same hymn, promising to "personally talk with Chamisa"

[3] In fact, it was under the same "wisdom" that Senators Mudzuri & Komichi, dutifully accepted the positions offered to them by Sen Mwonzora.

they didnt want "the MDC-T to split again".

Funny enough, they masterminded the MDC-ALLIANCE split.

Question is, what has changed now?

[4] The truth of the matter is that, it's all about the politics of positions.

Before being tested at the polls, Dougie already wants to "unite the Opposition"

Only he knows how he plans to unite the Opposition, when his faction is so chaotic & can't hold meetings with quorums

[5] Already, there are many lessons from Tsvangirai's MDC ALLIANCE, and the reunification of the 3 MDC factions under Chamisa.

Beyond a genuine desire to unite against ZanuPf,these parties also brought along their individual party baggages,whose effects are still being felt now.

[6] Tsvangirai's MDC-ALLIANCE can be likened to an attempt at a relationship, between people who haven't dealt with their individual problems.

Those who have dated,understand how this is dangerous

Deal with yourself first,before attempting to be in any form of a relationship

[7] So we had an agreement amongst parties with internal disagreements

The MDC-T had a political resolved, yet legally sticky succession battle

MDC-N had long been ineffective

PDP had split, its factions counter-expelling one another

ZimPF & NPF had Leadership wrangles

[8] Perhaps focusing on the bigger picture, they went ahead with the ALLIANCE

The NC led reunification had a false start

Whereas unavoidable,for the sake of balancing the political scale,the party was forced to have 3 VPs
Potentially setting the stage for another brutal fight

[9] What was ignored during the MRT ALLIANCE formation came back to haunt the MDC-A

Internal MDC-T & PDF issues are being exploited in the ongoing MDC-A fight

Imagine disturbing the current stability in the @mdczimbabwe by entering another toxic relationship with the MDC-T!

[10] Let's for a second give the MDC-T a benefit of the doubt

Let's say they learnt from Dr MT's error, & decided to deal with their succession fight first, before uniting with others, to fight against Zanu

The question then is, has the succession headache been resolved now?

[11] In any case, the MDC-T needs to make up its mind

There is no such a thing as "talking to both Chamisa and ED".

Talking about what?

And what exactly politically positions the MDC-T, let alone Mwonzora, to be the one to play that role?

Someone is playing to the gallery.

[12] As far as I see it, someone is trying to have his cake and eat it too

What Zimbabwe needs are reforms that will enable state institutions to function

Post that, the citizens should elect their representatives

Political parties & career politicians need less & less power

[13] If unity mattered to them, why split the MDC-A?

Imagine all this damage, all for the sake of returning back with some power to negotiate posts in some elitist electoral or reunification arrangement

The MDC-T needs electoral legitimacy, not some bizarre push for talks.

[14] I am pro-unity

But Zimbabweans already know the political parties,political leaders, & individuals who have something to offer

Career electoral rejects, charlatans & nincompoops in the judicial construct, who keep chasing some G-40 ghost are chancers not to be entertained

[15] @nelsonchamisa should stay clear off MDC-T toxicity

More so because the MDC-T itself is suffering from an identity crisis & simply needs to come out of its political closet.

One second its attracted to @mdczimbabwe, the other, to ZanuPF

It can't swing both ways.

enkosi!
