Potted Plants: Move One

Pmo Dept: As your editorial pointed out in the Samara report many ex-MPs felt like potted plants helpless and embarrassed as to what goes on in Parliament. Well as the story goes, If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem, according to The Star. Rather than allowing the big wheel in Parliament to move one cog, which forces us little wheels to rev at a thousand RPMs just to keep up, we can effect the opposite result and reverse this phenomenon by getting out and voting for a candidate who will represent our interests and not the Prime Minister s and mPs strut and fret their hour upon the stage primarily during an election campaign and then are heard no more until the next election. In the interim, the PM usurps their authority or they have quietly acquiesced it. We all bemoan the turf taking tactics of this PM and the concentration of power which he has garnered for himself and/or his PMO. However regardless of how much authority MPs have given up, their accountability remains undiminished and during this last session of Parliament their silence on this point has been deafening. The six-year wonders who naively enter politics with honourable intentions find out early in their career that if they don t play the game and let the system corrupt them then it will spit them out. Hopefully they can last the six years to qualify for the annual pension of $27,000, adjusted for cost of living, naturally. As reported in the news.
@t honourable intentions, big wheel
