The son of Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi, said NO to politics. By politics here, we understand that it is the position of decision-making especially during elections. A BBC article titled “Gaddafi son retire from politics” Sayf al-Islam Gaddafi told the crowd in the desert town of Sebha:

“I have intervened extensively in everything: our foreign policy, in a lot of problems, in development, in housing. Because there were no institutions or administrative system that were able to do so. But now the situation has changed and if I continue there will be a problem”.[1]
 
Sayf al-Islam Gaddafi is making us to understand that despite Libya’a media’s presenting Libya as a fast developing nation than the others in the developing world, Libyan had no institutions or administrative systems that were able to intervene in a lot of problems faced by the Libyan population.  
His father Colonel Gaddafi took power in 1969 coup, and Libya is known to have large oil and gas reserves. Colonel Gaddafi after taking over power, called his new system a Jamahiriya meaning “state of the masses”[2]. Because the approach in making the Libyan state a real Jamahiriya was not taken, Colonel Gaddafi ruled unopposed, that is, refusing idea sharing which to my opinion means suppressing the voices of the masses he claimed to empower.  
 
According to BBC’s Rana Jawad, Sayf al-Islam Gaddafi said: “the decision-making process should not be held in the hands of a few people again”. This is the same kind of speech his father made when he took over in 1969.  
 
Do not forget that the Gaddafi is one of the wealthiest families, and if one of the Gaddafis points out that decision-making should be left in the hands of the majority – that is, to those who suffer most from a failing political system, then he giving a wake-up call to his father, family members as well as other wealthy and powerful guys in other nations. 
 
He goes again far to say that: “he urged the creation of more civil societies, an independent media and a judiciary enshrined in a new constitution”. These goals he said “were the responsibility of all Libyans”.  
This is what REAL DEMOCRACY is out for – the wellbeing of the majority and this can only be attained when they are empowered, especially during elections. And more civil societies can really be civil or independent media, independent if and only if Vote Sizing is put in place.  
 
If you don’t constitutionally denounce the approach of more money more power or better-still “1-person 1-vote” then Sayf Gaddafi’s fight will be in vain – just like his father Jamahiriya state. I think he should buy the idea of Vote Sizing to make his dream come true – that is, if he is really out for change – the REAL CHANGE.
