Secondly, NDP rhetoric, especially that of its supports is at best pejorative and at worst marginalizing. Thirdly, I am not sure how things work in the city, but rural representatives are actual members of the community who work hard to represent and move resources to the people they serve, again, I do not agree with, or even like my representative, but they are very active in the community in ways that immediately benefit my work. Representation matters.


Politics are not a science it is an art, it is deeply subjective, suggesting that people do not have rational and well formalized reasonings for their political decisions is nothing short of insulting.

Nicely phrased maiden.
