Holstein disappoints

It's rather disappointing to read of promising Independent Cr Chris Holstein opting to snuggle up to the big boys by joining the Liberal Party.

Hasn't he learnt the lesson of Pittwater?

That is, Independents can win if they're well known and work hard.

And the only boss the Independents have are the people.

It's a shame that he's opted out for the big political parties that are corrupt, arrogant and anti-democratic.

The destruction of the One Nation Party is a good example of the big parties ruthless exercise in power.

As more Independents join the political fray, more deals will be made and more benefits will flow to the people, the ones the politicians are supposed to represent.
