Another example of a politician who does not want to retire is Vladimir PUTIN !!! Born in 1952, he is now 59 years old and after two terms as President, he is currently the Prime Minister of Russia. MEDVEDEVE is the current President but is seen as someone who is keeping the seat warm for PUTIN to reclaim next year.
PUTIN like many other politicians covered in the article in this blog on November 10, 2011 (POLITICIANS NEVER WANT TO RETIRE) wants to carry on, serving Russia like he has done for the last 12 years. He has been a good President and servant, but it is not for me to judge him.
There are others younger than PUTIN who also want to serve as President. Putin could help and guide them as an elder statesman !!! To want to keep power will create animosity among the ranks. This has already been seen recently in the ARAB Spring revolts !!!
