Don't take me wrong. I am not saying Mary Ann is not going to do what she has promised because she has in fact been doing all those things all these years. and i am very glad you cast your vote and made a very good decision. if i were in her constituency, i would no doubt make the same choice. what i am trying to say is that the fact that she is now a DC does not make her god. it is not fair to her to expect her to be god. as a DC, she can only do what is within her power and she understands that very well (you can tell from the wording they use in their platform). however, i am sure she will do the best she can utilising those power, no matter how limited they are. -- QUEER SISTERS FORUM

In reply to: Passers By 's message, ""it is naive to think that she can initiate policy changes regarding equal opportunities in the Government just because she is a DC"??, So, is it naive to have elected her ? If a DC is not going to voice out and agitate for what she has promised, what is the point she 's being a DC? The above points you have cited are just ordinary rules & obligations a DC should abide himself to, the specific work for each of them is to be assessed from what he/she has promised. That's what called "be accountable & res[ponsible to your constituency". A DC can't initiate proposal regarding her promises meant nothing at all. We as voters, has the right to demand DC to do so and she has the obligations to listen and act on it." on 22:55:27 11/24/03 Mon
