DEAR News Of The Area,
I THINK electing independents at the upcoming election will strengthen Parliamentary democracy as legislation has a better chance of being improved and balanced if it can’t be just rubber stamped.
I am looking for someone who will not only run a positive campaign but a willingness to follow a transparent consultative process to represent the area in Parliament. Someone committed to the local communities as well as the bigger picture of the whole electorate and nation.
There are many delicate balances between seeming competing interests like the environment, housing and energy needs or between profit and fair wages.
We need someone capable of listening to a variety of viewpoints, experts and experiences and to assist in these hard debates in our Parliament.
Regards,
Tracy DE GEER.
