Political Notes
Thus spoke Mr Craigie : M. P.. " I believe so far as the conduct of their business is concernParty ed the local bodies Government, set this House a good example. If members of local bodies were to take up time by referring to what was done last year, or ten or twenty years ago, when would they finish their work ? The Leader of the Opposition and his party take up three parts of their time in magnify ing the little faults and failings and errors of the Government, and the Government in turn take up three parts of their time in defending themselves and doing what they can to discredit the Opposition. Evidently one party is fighting to put the other party off the ministerial benches, and the occupants of the ministeral benches are doing all they can to retain their positions. But I want to ask both parties where do the people of the country come in ? "
