1 thought on “Politicians need better ways to consult public, less theatre

  1. Well said, Mr. Washburn. In my own cynical view, the process of public consultation is all a sham, designed to fool us into thinking we are making a real contribution. It’s all window dressing. For the process to mean anything the politicians have to really listen and be willing to consider the advice they get. It’s not enough just to smile and say thank you, we want them to seriously consider our opinions and take them into account in their decision making.
