I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for this Parliament (or the President for that matter). They've had opportunity after opportunity and yet only lies, deception and the same old political games continue to be played meanwhile nothing significant changes. They have no credibility. They want the civilized democratic world to bend to their corrupt ways and it just doesn't work that way. Here's how it works. You rise to the higher more professional and humane levels of government & law and you begin to take care of your people rather than rob from them and persecute them. Then you are welcomed with open arms. Its not... give me my cake and let me eat it too! That is lunacy not positive change!
