Your ideology is so out of whack with reality, I am more than pleased you disagree though.
Can you just tell me where they get this mandate? Politicians are elected, so we know where that mandate comes from. Where exactly does the CTF get to come out and say that "we're opposed to this" or "in favour of that" though? It sure looks like a facade.

Another important point is that this is a group that represents us to people we elected to represent us. Not only do I have no idea where they get their authority from, and the fact that they are completely unaccountable, but do we really need this? We elect people to these roles and while not everyone agrees, we elect opposition politicians as well. What is the purpose of this group, if not to advance a particular agenda? Elected politicians already represent "every single taxpayer", and its clear and transparent where that authority comes from in the first place.
