When last have we heard a constructive debate about any major issue affecting the country in Parliament?
How about debates on the National Debt, crime, the Educational system, illegal immigration or even the prison to name but a few?
Oh we get lots of verbal jousting and attempts at political point scoring from the "Honourable Members" but I can't recall the last time there was a civil discussion where potential solutions were discussed.
Can you?
If Parliament is leading by example is there any wonder we appear to be a sinking ship?
