Post Election 2016 Comment

………So now the most important political requirement is the formation of a stable Government.  The logical step is for the two main historical established parties to do so.  After all, they both want “the best for the people and the country.”  Unfortunately party political loyalty comes’s first, then the people and the country.

The most important step of managing the country by the two biggest established parties will NOT happen. 

Reform and change are the essential headings that must come onto the political agenda.  More than this, it is the enactment of change that is essential.
