ERODING OUR DEMOCRACY
Remember the “ExCo Report”?
Instigated by Governor Gurr to improve democracy, after every ExCo
meeting he gave a report of what was discussed and what was decided.
Anybody want to guess when we last had an ExCo Report?
This year there has been not one single ExCo report. Zero. The
last was after the meeting on 12th November 2019, and that was only
seven paragraphs. Gov. Gurr’s reports sometimes filled two pages of the
newspaper.
All we get now is a brief press release summarising the open
agenda. There is no official report of
what was agreed.
Given the ExCo recently gave itself the power to make
decisions alone, completely bypassing the LegCo Committee Stage, it is now more
important than ever that we are told what ExCo is deciding.
Clearly telling the people what their governing body has
been up to is no longer a priority.
