David Seymour thinks it’s “enormously disappointing” that Cabinet ministers’
political stance is affected by their personal judgment on moral issues such as
euthanasia. He thinks they should not exercise “a personal vote” but vote for
what the polls say the majority wants.
The polls having been Trumped however, he must know that polls can get it wrong but even so, it sounds like Seymour wants
automatons in Parliament. Men and women who operate not out of beliefs, but who
believe in nothing. Nihilists who will vote for anything in order to stay in
office, members of Parliament who are relentlessly politically correct.
But in fact what New Zealand desperately needs is political representatives with vision, values and courage.
