The opposition is upset that they will not meet with Obama

[Mosiah]

And I'm like - why should they? They are...well...the opposition!

I've always thought we give our opposition party too much importance. The sooner we get behind the elected party and forget the opposition the better we might be.

[Rockman]

I can't blame them,it is the only opportunity they have of ever meeting the most significant US President.
What the JLP should do,is submit a list of questions they would like to ask Obama,believe me,he is there to take care of business.
Oddly enough,I am minful of The China visit...

It's all so damn full of pettiness and oneupmanship!

Well, I would like to meet Barack too but you don't hear me bitching about it.

Like I've said in the past, I hate the relevance we give to our opposition. That's why if you ask someone on the street who is their leader, they will name their party leader. It continues the tribalism that we so need to rid ourselves of.

Usual pettiness from the Gov't.
Obama met with the leader of the UK labour party at the White House in July 2014.

[Assasin]

It is the norm that visiting leaders meet the ruling party and opposition.

Why would we go away from that??? In a democratic country, certain basic principle should be upheld.

[Islandman]

The opposition is an official part of the government.

Usual pettiness from the Gov't.
Obama met with the leader of the UK labour party at the White House in July 2014.

Is there a difference between the two events?!?
