The electoral process has not countered the sense of disadvantage felt by opposition political parties who consider the conditions were unfair,

If information and knowledge are central to democracy, they are conditions for development.

They either consider the flood gates are open and they can come with their own amendments or they should hold the line and not move and so they place technical blocks on key aspects of the proposal.

But nowadays -- Our weakness for the last few years has been the ineffectiveness of the Opposition. This Labour Party has never had the quality of a fighting Opposition. It has just sucked the life out of Radicalism. It has never had the definite idealism of the Whigs and Liberals. 'Give us more employment and slightly higher pay and be sure of our contentment,' says Labour. 'We're loyal. We know our place. But we don't like being unemployed.' What good is that as Opposition? It's about as much opposition as a mewing cat. We mean more than that. I tell you frankly. Our task, I take it, my task, is to reinstate that practical working Opposition which has always been Old England's alternative line of defence... For the good of all of us...

It's been difficult, ... He's had to make compromises to move the process ahead. It was never going to be easy ... but now that the new government is installed, we all need to look forward.

We have the means and the capacity to deal with our problems, if only we can find the political will.
