@robhalden@marvelversus This is my issue. To me, they do. I leave all this stuff to my kids mostly. Like my parents left programming the VCRs to me in the 80s/90s. It’s evolution. The increasing encroachment of my own irrelevance. And I hate it.
@Obadigie@supertanskiii A parliament is 60 months.They’ve had 6. That’s 10% of this parliament. You can add in an only and already there in equal measure. But you’d expect perhaps a little bit more by now than ‘wait and see’, no?
