We’ve already met Bill Casey of Nova Scotia…now meet
Andre Arthur of Quebec. He’s the independent member of parliament for Port Neuf-Jacques Cartier.
Andre ran a low-budget campaignin 2008 and emphasized the downside of being a member of a political party.
He says that Parliament exists mainly to serve the political parties and not to serve the voters of Canada.
“If I was a member of a party, I would be a member of a caucus. There would be secrets there and strategies and things like that…”He points out that the party system prevents M.P.’s from being honest with the public.
“I am totally free. I can do whatever I want, and I can serve my riding with any talents that I may have.”
We all need to learn more about how our parliament and our government can work better.
