  • An MP behaving badly

    From Gordon@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 1 21:58:51 2024

    Good to see that she apologised and that some common sense views were
    expressed over the matter.

    "We know that transport is one of those touchy subjects but if we want to
    get the best out of the minister, interjections are fine but it would be
    good if we could actually just ask the questions and let the minister
    answer them.... rather than shouting matches and it is not appropriate
    to get out of one's seat to go and have an argument with somebody on
    the other side," Kuriger said."

    Nevertheless why is is that the Green/Labour/left side always feel the need
    to attack/intiminate when a person offers an alternative view? When someone
    is threating on in ones face one is not likely to consider the points being expressed.
