Hon Keynan is a political predator: extremely cunning, highly manipulative and dangerously vindictive. But he is a very bright man, too with razor sharp mind. He smells blood and is going in for a kill. In his usual crafty and flamethrower style, brother Keynan sponsored a draconian bill to gag the Forth Arm of the government in order to shelve the 100million extortion money he allegedly demanded in the sale of Tokyo embassy.
There is nothing like national image or patriotism in those retrogressive bills, but rather reveals his soft underbelly and zero substance in his upstairs. There is no professionalism and mannerism with power as manifested in brother Keynan.
Even the most suborn rulers know when to cut their losses, throw in the towel and choke it up to pragmatism. It isn’t about weakness, waffling or rather indecision. No. It’s about real politick. Keynan has run out of habits, even a cat’s nine lives will come to an end, someday. That appears to be Keynan’s fate.
First, with the blame of the inter-clan wrangles hanging over his head like sword of Damocles and a deep rebellion in his backyard, Keynan appears to be headed to an unlikely political abyss. In fact this can be seen without invoking the wisdom of the crystal ball.
Secondly, Keynan is suffering the tactical guillotine of the county establishment. The system has become such a mammoth destruction that is sucking all the wind out of Keynan’s sails. The Governor has rebuffed all the demands of Keynan. In street language the Governor is telling Keynan uta do? Keynan does not understand how to play second fiddle. This is another rule of politics. He would be foolish to drink cool-aid that fuels him to outdo the maverick. That is why he is either prompted to commit political hari-kari, or let the door hit him on his way out.
Since Keynan is sitting on a flimsy political edge, he is cultivating goodwill and helpful posterity through the chambers of the August House. From the National Flag, Emblems and Names Amendment Bill 2013 through to the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Bill 2014, Keynan has clearly one thing in his mind—to retire from politics in style because he will have his psychiatric help shouldered through tax-payer’s money and the few monthly token in store.
