Weekend Open Forum
There's another weekend ahead and so much to talk about. Here's a safe space to raise whatever is on your mind.

Politicians bank on the voters having a short memory and forgiving the betrayal of founding principles. They expect their supporters to stay loyal and maintain the faith.
Sometimes that expectation is well placed, other times it isn't.
The Liberal Party is going through one of those challenges right now.
