Watching parliament in action reminiscent of primary school behaviour

I did a dumb thing the other day. I watched a parliamentary debate on T.V. I saw our politicians at work.

To the Editor:

I did a dumb thing the other day. I watched a parliamentary debate on T.V. I saw our politicians at work.

What a joke! They heckled each other , booed when others were talking, acting more like spoiled children than grown men and women. What I saw was like the first day of kindergarten before the teacher has control by the second day. They do not work for the common good. They have to toe the party line and do as they are told. Their only priority is to get power and keep it, no matter what.

They disagree when a good idea is broached, not because of the idea, but because the other party thought it up. I do not see much choice when voting.

 

I think Arnold Schwarzenegger said it best about his political opponent.

The people in Ottawa running our country are just a bunch of “girly men,” without the guts to do the right thing for the benefit of Canada.
