FIFA : BLATTER REJECTS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE BY CANDIDATES !

The "Times of London" yesterday reported that Sepp Blatter rejected the idea of a live debate by all Candidates seeking to be elected as President of FIFA !  He said one should not "imitate politics". 

One should not dupe electors either !  Every candidate should also have a clear program of action which would justify his wish to be elected !  Each candidate should be heard, and preferably, be seen on Television, debating "off the cuff" questions raised by the others ! 

As there are still four valid candidates (their credentials are still being vetted) why does Blatter reject the chance to explain why he needs a fifth term of four years ?  Are the current FIFA problems so complicated that only HE could unravel the "mess" he has accumulated during his 16 years in office ? 

It is pointless in this Blog to enumerate again all the changes which lovers of football would like to see introduced, but Blatter's rejection of a debate is an inexcusable denial of the basic rights of candidates in an election ! 

It is not democratic and resembles the policies of a Totalitarian State !  This is inacceptable !
