It's always disappointing when adults go in to a youth movement as a volunteer and there motives are not for benefit of the youth members, and only for there own personal political gain.
In general of the leaders and volunteers who live and work for the youth, do a fantastic job. Even those who don't do a fantastic job still do it for right reasons. It is the very small minority who act as if the only way to advance or further there own political agendas is to step on and destroy anything and everything in their way.
From what I can see these people have a short lived career when they reach that top goal, because the wake of destruction that they create on the way up does not go un-noticed. Sure it gets overlooked in the short term because we "need someone to take over" or "they have showed great ambition, so they should be good at the job". Unfortunately it can take a long time for the right political circumstances to take place. In the long run, you still need to work with the people around you. If you manage to get 99% of the people under your control, offside, don't expect a smooth ride. Being a volunteer organisation, it can be very easy for a volunteer to say "I'm not being paid for this c*&p, i'm out of here" and before too long your once thriving group, district, movement, that you soooo wanted to have control over, is no longer.
I hope all the effort is worth the damage.
