[Wynonie Harris]

I haven't lived in Accy since 1987, so I know very little about the local political scene and would not presume to comment on it. I was asking you in your capacity as an ordinary member of the Labour party what you thought of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill. You said you thought it was a good thing if used sensibly, one of the plus points being that it would save money. I don't agree with you because I think it's far too open to abuse by unscrupulous politicians and I don't think that's worth saving money for. It's as simple as that.

What's the big deal about commenting on national political issues anyway? Do your opinions end at the borough boundary,,,or do you think that by defending unpopular national policies you'll lose potential votes?
