Philip came to me today and said it was time to go. I looked at him and smiled as I whispered “I know”. Then I turned and looked behind me and I saw I was asleep. My whole family was around me and I heard them cry.
I gently touched each shoulder, with Philip by my side; I turned and walked away, with my angelic guide. Philip took my hand, as he led the way to a world where everyone is a king, a queen, and the Monarchy rules, every day.
I was given a crown to wear or Halo as some know it. The difference is, up here everyone wears them. I felt at peace, my reign was over. I served my country for 70 years, as a friend of the people.
Thank you for the years, for all your time and love. Now I’m one of the two again upstairs in our palace.
“Queen Elizabeth II” passed away last Thursday evening at the age of 96, after remaining on the throne as Queen of the United Kingdom, Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Queen of other kingdoms and territories, Head of the Commonwealth, and Head of the Church.
She lived with the respect and humility of the nobles, and her biography was not flawless, everyone loved her, and everyone grieved her death.
Well done, Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim for not running for the upcoming National Assembly elections. In his political sense, he read that he must “roam” or leave behind this stage, and prepare for the next stage.
The English proverb says that all humans die once, except for the politician, who dies several times.
We have dozens of examples of this being true, perhaps the closest to memory is the biography of the British politician Winston Churchill, who died politically and came back to life more than three times.
If a party had to choose the best ten members of the previous National Assembles for the past twenty years, the name of the former MP “Ahmed Nabil Al-Fadhl” would have been among these illustrious names, despite his lack of experience, his political participation being limited to one parliamentary session, and his relative young age.
His loss in the December 2016 elections showed the extent of the decline in the level of choices of many voters, and a high percentage of them were affected by sectarian or tribal discourse on the one hand, and their almost complete reluctance, on the other hand due to the reality of the MP’s achievements in the National Assembly, and his role as a legislator and observer of the work of the executive authority.
We hope that the night will not be long, and that Ahmed Al-Fadhl will return to Parliament... stronger than before.
The university professor, a graduate of Bordeaux University in France, “Khaled Al-Wasmi” won first place in the National Assembly elections in 1981, and lost in the following elections for refusing to participate in any tribal by-elections, so he retired respectfully.
Today, the son of the lawyer, Wasim Khaled Al-Wasmi, is contesting the elections, following the same path as his father, and therefore he deserves respect and choice.
