Parliament is ...

A sad marionette comedy!
Why am I saying this? Well look what happens in any parliament.
A member of whichever party gets up and pronounces him or her self on a subject. At the end of the debate MPs vote. You'd think that as they represent their constituency they would vote with their supporters in mind. No way! They vote as they are TOLD to vote. Go against the party's hierarchy... and you will pay a heavy price. The hierarchy hold the strings of the marionette in parliament. My solution : All voting in parliament must be a secret vote. Is that not what democracy is supposed to encourage?

A serious question...

Yes, my question is serious...: "Am I who I am? If not, who am I?

If you wish, ask yourself that question. You might then find it easier to answer me.
In which case I cannot wait to hear from you.

Thanks.

Any vote that is not...

Secret is an insult to democracy!

In Parliament or other when public elected representation is held, our Representatives must vote only by secret vote. Do they have a free vote? NO! Their party's hierarchy dictates to them how they must vote. Refusal to vote as directed carries serious consequences for the disobedient member.

This is unacceptable.
