Call me naive, but I think politicians would be more accountable if the voters would hold them to their promises by punishing them at teh ballot box. Sounds too simple to be true, right?
It's pathetic that we have had the same party in power for 30+ years. And the way Ralph started abusing his power immediately into his second term is shameful. Shameful that we voted him back in a third time without him even tableing a platform.
Of course, after Nancy MacBeth (literally) cried about losing, it was all downhill from there. We do need viable opponents (as already mentioned).
But the worst part about our one party rule, is that we whined and complained about the federal Liberals getting re-elected time after time.
It's time for a change!
