Commenting to the local media he said:
“After the expenses scandal, parliament has to change to win back
public trust. Business as usual won’t do. Changing the voting system
so that MPs only win if they get a majority of the votes is an
important step forward because it will make MPs reach out to people in
other parties and listen to different points of views”It was a real motivator to see a distinguished politician not only
work in a non-partisan way, but to take the time to use his influence
for the benefit of the campaign. Let’s hope he is one of many between
now and May 5th.
