Dear Editor,
For people who are supposed to be so committed to the positions outlined in their petition, the United Democrats are sure moving at a snail’s pace when it comes to doing what they know they must.
A petition is all nice and cute, but why hasn’t the UD called a Parliament meeting to discuss the same and call a vote on the petition’s content? Why is the UD desperately trying to get other parties to support a march and other public actions but not calling a public Parliament meeting? The other parties, I believe, have already said they could possibly support the issues once they reach Parliament. So why are we wasting time with all this fluff?
The UD has the President of Parliament position. They also have a majority of 8 with the Christian Party. So call the meeting!
And what is the SMCP position on the content of the petition? Has any media asked them? You know, the same party who railed against corruption and said they couldn’t form with the USP out of “principles.” The same SMCP who said that if any MP found him or herself in legal issues they should do the right thing and step aside.
Yes, THAT Christian party. The same that formed a coalition with Chanel Brownbill and now Theo Heyliger. Principles apparently mean very little when power is concerned.
The old people have a saying: “there is nothing worse than a holy hypocrite.” “Pastor” Wycliffe Smith, the leader of the Christian Party SMCP, has shown that he is exactly what many thought he was before, during and after the campaign. A political opportunist and a calculating individual whose actions are dictated by the craving for power. Sounds familiar? It should, it sounds just like the rest.
So, what are the UD and SMCP afraid of? I mean, other than their own conscience … and the Dutch to whom they’ve made concessions, of course.
