A quality Minister would automatically volunteer the downside of action as well, not only boasts all its upside. They must also remember that the population does not only consist of children. There are grown-up people and every living has got a brain.

Have we seen such a Minister yet who is frank about ramifications? Only a handful and the people know who they are. Why do we still need oppositions to go into parliament to argue about the ripple effect? If ramifications are only 15% the people can accept it, small side effects. But some have really big holes in them?; February 28, 2021 3:44 PM
