They have spent far too much time, in my view, whining, being quick to find fault and gloating shortsightedly at the imagined and real shortcomings of those at the helm nowadays. They are filled with far too much resentment at the fact that they have lost some political power. The trouble is that they have believed that there are only two possible positions in any sociopolitical setup. You are either the top dog or you are the underdog. There is no place in this kind of scenario for participatory, shared power.
