Dear Reader
"
Parliament can pass all the motions it wants but it won’t get the government to do something that it does not want to do." That is how Hilbert Haar starts his opinion piece titled "
Political sabre-rattling" today in this newsletter. You can read it online
here.
The point is that Parliament passes motions when it should be passing laws to get done what it wants to have done. But when last has Parliament passed a law? There should be a law against wasting tax payers money. That's a motion we would support. Passing motions in Parliament has become nothing but a frivolous affair. Don't believe us? Check out this
photo.
The good news is that a decree has been signed to postpone elections. Read all about that last-minute news
here. But eventhough Postulation Day has been effectively postponed with that latest development, the
unpaid advice given to political parties is still valid. Read that advice
here.

Parliament can pass all the motions it wants but it won’t get the government to do something that it does not want to do. After all, a motion is nothing more than a request to the government. Over the past seven odd years we have seen many motions approved by Parliament that resulted in zero action from the other side of the fence. There is therefore not much reason to get excited about a motion that “resolves” to discharge Prime Minister Marlin of his duties and to call on the Governor to make sure this happens.
