The politics of the spoke, the quarter-pin and the wheel

SIR— Do you remember the politics of the quarter-pin during the 2001 elections being advanced by Dr Kizza Besigye. Now it’s the spoke of Bidandi Ssali in the wheel.

I used to ride a bicycle in the village. It is actually possible to ride a bicycle with one spoke missing. However, the following parts are extremely important: the free-wheel, the chain, the pedal, the cross-bar, the rim, the tyre and tube. To which part do the rest of the cadres of the Movement belong?
Lately, a local music maestro has gone beyond politics to marital relations in his advice on the best bike when it comes to choice of partner in a recent song ‘Egaali Njagala Ekozeeko’. It is proving a good solution to political, economic, and social problems.
