Stupid political rhetorics

"Najib said the by-election was a political game being played by the Opposition and they did not want to play to their tune."

I fully expect politicians being political in their responses; it is, after all, inscribed in their job title However I just cant stand dumb ones like the aforementioned. An election, regardless if it is by-election or the actual one is the pinnacle event of democracy. The citizens exercise their right of choice of government in elections. When a major political party rescinds their nomination, its an act of depriving the voters a choice. It is not a game; it is the essence of democracy.
