Expansion of the Parliament

I really do not understand this government. At a time when the country is looking to the Prime Minister for answers to issues of law and order, corruption, and

rising attacks on minorities, she chooses to focus on the least of the nation's priorities. Has she forgotten that for the last 12 years, thanks to her colleague, the Leader of the Opposition and herself, the Parliament has been reduced to the least important political institutions? Is she doing this so that we can have a larger number of people living on the government exchequer without contributing back even a cent that they take out of the people's pocket?

Then again, how can she in her right mind think of passing such an important amendment to the constitution without the opposition on board? It is true that her party has two third majority. But someone please remind her that the AL received votes of 40% of the people in the last election. There is no question that her action will be counterproductive, and may I add dictatorial, if she chooses to go ahead with this expansion without a consensus of the major political parties.

The task ahead of you Madam Prime Minister is not to try and expand the parliament by this bulldozing method but making the existing one work. If you cannot do that and would like to blame the opposition for it, then better concentrate on issues that we the public have desperately tried to communicate to you, namely,

law and order, corruption and attacks on minorities.
