How to time your political exit

As we progress through another interesting political season, I wish to share the philosophy of the widely popular MP for Reading, UK, who has retired in the run-up to impending British General Elections.
 
He said that he always planned to leave politics at such time that his constituents would ask him why he was leaving, instead of when.
 

In the shorter races its simply who you like.

It makes good sense of course. Give the vote to the person who is best placed to make things happen for you and your community, and by extension the country's needs will be served. Not that it was ever that simple in Trinidad and Tobago.
