    The more often debates are held in parliament, the healthier it should be for our democracy. Parliament lying idle for so long is deleterious to our system of government. Not sure about anybody else, but everything to do with the governance of this country looks, feels and seems so wrong. Example:
    Parliament – a political zealot (Speaker)
    Police Force – malleable chief & deputy
    President – hypocritical & untrustworthy
    Ministers of Government- spineless & grossly incompetent
    Prime Minister – avaricious, mendacious, autocratic, an intellectual lightweight, sadistic, megalomaniacal

    Interesting, 1 May is the international day of labour. Is there a not so subtle message here?
