What do the elected members have to do with this and what authority do they have to intervene in our discussions with the British?<BR/><BR/>It is an agreement on the way forward into the future. Elected members come and go. The world turns; the Constitution stands firm. There are some 13,000 of us. Each of us have one vote. There are 7 elected members. Their one vote is the same size as yours and mine. <BR/><BR/>We elected them to manage our affairs for five years, not to push us around and tell us what's best for us. I'm tired of the arrogance that seems to go with public office in Anguilla.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
