I would like our member of parliament, Simon Bridges to expand on his response to the letter from R. Rimmer of Welcome Bay about the constitutional review.
R. Rimmer queried why a mandate of the people through a referendum of the constitutional review has not been forthcoming.
I would like Mr. Bridges to further explain to me what he means by 'there would need to be broad cross-party agreement or the majority support of voters at a referendum”
Does a 'broad cross-party agreement” mean that the wording and intent of our future constitution which will affect us forever, could rely totally on the whim and political stance of whoever is our current representative in parliament.
Those people cannot be allowed to speak for all of us and I would like Mr. Bridges to validate that for me, and I am sure for many others who are wondering exactly what obfuscation those few words of his could hide. It is very clear that the constitutional review with its racist agenda is being worked on behind closed doors and the due date of its release is getting closer by the week and still the other 85% of us are still being kept uninformed.
It must be a fair and democratic process and there is nothing fair and democratic about the way this is being conducted.
