COST

If an elected member of parliament causes a by-election by party-hopping, then he or she must bear the cost of having the poll. A suggestion from an ardent reader.

TRUTH

Who was telling the truth? A candidate, before hopping seats openly declared that it was the call of the voters for him to change colours. The results say otherwise.

GRACIOUS

One must be gracious in defeat. There will be comments directed at people who are public figures. The strong can brush off the comments and realise that 70 per cent commenting have low IQs. The weak end up deleting social media accounts.

PRICE SHOCK

Can the price police start doing its work? Now that the fuel prices have gone, the word is that some bus companies are planning on charging extra on the bus fare without approval. These kinds of things do happen when there is no plan on how to deal with the price shocks.

SCHOOL IMPACT

Schools could expect lower turnout from next week. Some parents are deciding on where they should cut back and cutting back on schools seems to be one of them.

BLOCKED

The blocked drain near the hospital is still blocked and kicking up a stink. It must be a really complicated issue to see no action taken on dealing with the matter.
