WHY was so much money spent on the General Election? I also wonder why so many of us senior citizens struggled to the polling booths to vote?
Why, at this critical stage of our national history, were the elected Members of Parliament on holiday for weeks leaving us completely disenfranchised and allowing an arrogant, self-important Prime Minister to fly from capital to capital making grandiose statements without the say-so of the people?
Recalling Parliament for one day is not enough. There must be some MPs who will speak out, if they are allowed, against this overbearing dictatorship.
