I think the live telecast of the Parliament sessions are good in many ways.

It shows us what our representatives are truly doing, whether they are for the Government or not.

It also shows us that not everything the Opposition bloggers write on their blogs are true. They say one thing but decide not to report everything. And yet they take the holier-than-thou road and say they speak more truths than the Government representatives.

It shows that while some MPs are heavily debating an issue they feel strongly about, the two biggest Opposition bloggers known are either missing or walking around socialising. They say they are the voices and they say that the Government does not listen to the voices of the people. yet why aren't they speaking up or even listening? If they feel that strongly, for God's sake, do the job you are so determined to make people believe you are doing!

I am not very pro-Government. But I do strongly believe in being fair.

So it galls me to listen or read these Opposition people saying that the Government is nasty, stupid and hides the truth when they themselves don't always tell the truth either.

I know politics can be brutal and full of lies but where is the sense of intergrity? Especially coming from people who have sworn to fight for those oppressed by the government.

It's just stupid. I used to believe these lies. But after watching the live telecasts and having attended Parliament then seeing what these Opposition MPs are really like, I now read their blogs with a whole lot more cynicism than when I read the newspapers.
