Wishlist for the new Government

This plea is based on the fact that PN will be in Government with an absolute minority of votes. The absolute majority of voters want change. It is now up to the PN leadership to deliver this change.

First of all we want a change in the cabinet of ministers. We need new blood with people who are less arrogant, divisive and less inept. We do not want politics as usual and those members, old and new, who are tainted with shady 'transactions' should not be given any power.

We want a better preservation of our environment. We do not want more virgin land sacrificed to the 'development'. There is enough space for much more construction on existing developed areas. We do not want an open air nightclub in Mistra.

The people want a better quality of life. More attention should be given to transport and the state of the roads. We need a radical rethought about how we move about. The pressure of traffic and cars on our life is fast becoming unbearable.

We need a more tolerant society which accepts those who are different. We should not continue to deny people the right to divorce and to start afresh. People's consiences should be respected since not everyone wishes to abide by the rules of the Catholic Church. Very often faith is based on fear of losing one's soul rather than on loving your neighbour and working for justice.

There is a need for a better handing of the plight of illegal immigrants. These people deserve to be treated with dignity. Prejudice and intolerance should be fought with energy. I cannot understand how people with this 'fine' Catholic consience can tolerate the treatment we are giving these people.

We need better health services. The new hospital is fine but we need better preventive care and screening so that we minimise hospitalisations.

Well the above are some of the things that I wish the new administration to take care of.
