Left Listless Over Lister
I read with interest the article “VAD passes without Lister”, in last weeks issue.
Even though he states that the majority of his constituents are for the bill, he still chose to vote against it, thereby ignoring the will of the majority. So much for democracy.
He knows full well that his duty is to support the majority, but instead adopts the arrogant attitude of “I’ll decide what’s best for you”. Something that is all too prevalent in politics these days.
Unfortunately, he is smug in the knowledge of having such a safe seat and not having to truly represent those of us in his electorate.
