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 !
