Opinion
parliament.
And the next thing you know, they'll be
telling us how important it is to vote in
the next election. 'Every vote counts' they
say. Except, of course, all the votes not
cast for either Labour or the PN. Those
don't count for toffee. And another thing,
they'll be telling us that, by not voting,
we will be 'allowing other people to take
the decision for us.'
Oh? And isn't that exactly what's
happening right now? We vote one way in
an election... only for the law courts (or
the Constitution) to decide another?
In any case: don't bother knocking
on my door come election time. Not
before you reform this rotten system
into something that actually resembles a
functional parliamentary democracy.
