    Is she sure she’s a senator? She sounds like government’s not for her. All this truth and vengeance is great for a private citizen with no access to healthcare or water inspectors or other trappings of the society in which she lives.

      The government is the best place for someone who wants to make change.

      It doesn’t require being colonised to have access to the modern world.

      hmmm yeah it is kind of hypocritical of her to both criticize a part of the government and want healthcare

      She’s conveniently forgotten her oath of office.

        I should be quite surprised if it was legally binding, as opposed to tradition.

        The Parliament doesn’t immediately stop functioning if the Black Rod breaks, is stolen, or is out for repairs, for example.
