That's exactly the point! We can't sustain what we were paying for what we were getting.
A message to the opposition...Stop complaining and just speaking out against the sitting party because that's what you think you're supposed to do. Start acting as if the sitting party doesn't exist. Come up with your own assessment of the current situation and put forward tangible ideas about how you'd govern and your plan to get there. Then people will take you seriously and consider you an alternative. Until then you're just a joke. |
I get what you're saying, but I think your getting lost in the grass here. Why would they do that, their job is primarily to hold the government accountable, not to act as a shadow government.
Where the fall off point comes is during an election where the opposition should be getting into building their platform, not during a regular sitting in the house of commons.
And why as an opposition party would I give away my election strategy in points prior to a writ being dropped?
The opposition should give an indication of where they stand on issues during seating, (something that a lot of opposition parties federally and provincially can't do). But Their job is not to release shadow budgets etc.
The opposition needs to hold the governments feet to the fire and force them to answer questions about their policies and laws.
