PrintQUENTIN WILLSON'S TAKE ON POLITICAL ARROGANCE


Click here to add your comments below the post (10)


I did warn them. I told the Government that arrogantly ignoring the electorate in the last budget would cost them dear, and it has. Local council elections have shown the peril of appearing out of touch with voters.
