They say if you can’t beat them join them. In the case of Morgan Tsvangirai, it’s if you can’t beat them arrange to have them beaten.
But first, let me tell you a small story.
When I was about 15-years-old, my father Robert and I made one of the biggest deals in my life at the time.
He said if I passed Mathematics in the end of year exams I would get a car for my 16th birthday.
I never got the car. If wishes were horses, that’s one horse I would have rode.
Morgan Tsvangirai last week told journalists that his MDC-T party would rather win an election all by themselves than to link up with other opposition minions and hope for a coalition victory – though an alliance remained a possibility.
His comments came a few days after MDC-T secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora declared they were not keen on coalescing with other opposition parties.
Here is where Tsvangirai’s headache starts.
The chances of him winning against Zanu-PF – whether in a coalition or individually – are nil.
Zanu-PF has great support, having won 61,09 percent of the vote after getting 2 110 434 votes in 2013.
All other parties shared the remainder.
Tsvangirai is basing his delusions of victory on the breakaway of Joyce Mujuru and her cronies from Zanu-PF. But he needs to be reminded that Zanu-PF’s structures have about a million registered people.
No other party comes anywhere close.
Lest he overstretches his wild imagination, he should recognise that some people previously allied to Mujuru are now begging for readmission into Zanu-PF.
And many of those who remain with Mujuru only became “bigwigs” because they were cloaked by Zanu-PF.
Alone, they are nothing.
Ask yourself: who will vote for Didymus Mutasa? Or Rugare Gumbo? It’s a laugh!
For years Zanu-PF has proved its dominance.
It does not need coalitions with lesser political mortals to scrounge for votes.
Tsvangirai should wake from his sleep and stop hallucinating in public like he did in Gweru.
He needs to deal with his non-electability headache which a coalition cannot cure.
He should accept that he is a failure.
Since the formation of his party in 1999, there is nothing positive that has come out of him.
He has not won a single election – even as a councilor of a rural authority.
We all saw his abyssmal performance when President Mugabe made him Prime Minister in that doomed inclusive Government.
The people remember and will not want to see him in public office again.
Tsvangirai has shown time and again that he is not his own man and is a mere puppet of the West.
Now that the West has found a new puppet in Mujuru, Tsvangirai is trying to make all the right noises so that donor support comes back his way.
That is why he did that very useless march in Harare a few weeks ago, a march that is rapidly fading from memory.
Morgan Tsvangirai knows many MDC-T supporters have lost faith in his leadership given the number of years they have invested in him for zero returns.
The votes are lost.
The donor lucre is gone.
Tsvangirai’s headache is fast becoming a migraine.
