Parliament is about to reconvene after their long summer recess (yes, it’s November).
No information has been made public about the parliamentary agenda for the coming months.
Oh, except the backbenchers want a pay increase.
That tells you what the priorities are, doesn’t it?
Ya ya, I know the Throne Speech is coming up. But that normally ends up being a piece of populist puffery and self-justification rather than a real agenda. If we are to have a professional, accountable, and transparent legislature, Bermudians need a lot more information about its plans and its delivery.
