Ok, so are we saying then that the reps that WE elect don't trust the GECs/BECs that THEY elect? i find this interesting as they elect those that they feel are the best and right people to go and negotiate for all of us and then when they do and it's not what we like or want to hear we say they're wrong
Much like the "democratically" elected politicians, elected on a mandate (eg our skies are not for sale), which turns out to be sidelined as an inconvenience. Is it any wonder that trust is lost along the way?
Just becuse I have someone else representing me does not mean I put absolute faith in their every decision. Sometimes they are wrong. If they are wrong too often then they get replaced whether thay are my MP, Union, BEC, rep, employer or friend.
