Yes we do but there are times when we must make a judgement on what is best for the long term prospects of the Island. Sometimes we have more information than disseminated to the public but for GST there was a great deal of information put out.
Frankly it would have been a great deal easier to take the populist route but that would have been dishonest. And, as it happened, my electorate knew that I would be voting for GST - it was in my manifesto.
