Working Government.

Now the Government once again has used its parliamentary majority to once again serve the people of this land with great effect. This time they used it to defeat an opposition motion calling for live, UNEDITED broadcast of the National Assembly. (does the opposition ever get a motion passed)

Now what's so wrong with that? what's wrong with letting the people see what really goes on there without the propaganda machine putting its spin on things. Why they did this though is not hard to see, I guess they are just trying to cover up the obvious incompetence of their ranks, hide the fact that many of their parliamentarians are often absent and yet they’re collecting taxpayers money, or maybe the Government does not want to Guyanese to see what really goes when the national assembly is in session, the farce that it is. They expect Guyanese to just accept that the opposition has nothing to offer, or that the PPP bench has all the good ideas, and eloquent speakers, at least that’s how NCN tries to make it seem…seriously can someone tell me when last they saw an opposition member speaking on NCN?

Personally though, I wouldn’t mind not seeing what goes on in Parliament. It’s so bland, boring, corrupt and beyond predictable. The speaker will always disallow opposition motions, accept those by the PPP, opposition bills and motions are never passed, the idea that the PPP will not get even one through is just plain shocking and unthinkable , and the amount of white lies told in that building would be enough to cover a 9 tier wedding cake!
