THERE was a spate of resignations in government that were remarkably loud and ostentatious by today's standards. Unlike the quiet quitting that has become quite common in some companies, particularly in the United States, the recent public resignations — or as some would describe, forced ones — reflect what appear to be rifts and possible cracks in the administration.

Some have also interpreted these, rightly or wrongly, as a power struggle between opposing factions vying for opportunities and conflicting interests. There are winners and losers in every election, and it is fascinating to watch how the division of spoils is playing out. The drama is not yet over and it is still possible that all of these is play-acting and a mere ruse or feint to distract everyone as to what the final game really is.
