Letter.

Letter Published in The National UAE on 19Dec 18 Where are the great political leaders of our time?

I write with reference to Sholto Byrnes’ article Where have all the good statesmen and women gone? (December 18), which was well-written and important. In his comparison of the quality of political leaders, it is very clear that truly impressive politicians have become a rare commodity.

This vacuum needs to be filled.
