In one of his articles he wrote and which I supported: We might not need to remove the Proportional Representation when electing the President and Prime Minister. However, I believe MPs must come from certain geographic locations. This also allows independent candidates to challenge the main political parties even though they are likely to win the presidency. Geographic representation could also facilitate ethnic representation – especially for Indigenous people who really should have the power to elect their own leaders rather than the ethnic Indigenous leaders Freedom House provide.  This would move beyond the tokenism enshrined in the outboard engines and all terrain vehicles handed out to Indigenous folks just before the election. It is time the Indigenous people mobilize to be represented as a group in Parliament.

 

Congratulations Dr. TK.

Here we have the record of a man of industry being rewarded for his arduous work and yet you pontificate that he waits for a hand out. Here is the offering of rewards for effort and yet you suggest he pines for a handout.

 

Obviously, good sense or moral grounding were not a common fare in your household so you remain stunted of mind for want of goodness and charity in your heart.

 

You are that pitiful being one often hears lamenting "woe is me" and "what have I done to be so oppressed by life". Take some time off for reflection because it is indubitable that the universe inevitably rewards all intentions in kind.

Mits I forgot about that one. Thanks for posting. But I notice a little grammatical error after reading back.
