Dear Editor,
It doesn't amaze me to see another controversial political scandal with Tongan politicians in the media again. This time, it is a well-known noble figure and Speaker of the House.
The act of the whole case portrays a negative picture for this present Government and nobles as a whole for these times. This maybe a false representation of the nobles and the cabinet as a whole, but tell me and see if you can pin point one of any of the nobles have done to there perspective district in the past? I know, it is an empty answer; they have not done anything to improve their communities but themselves. It is the quite the opposite when you think about it, the people help them to improve instead of the role of the nobles was to help their fellow district families living on their lands and district.
If this court case doesn...t move the people of Tonga to think of the type of Government we have, may God help us all. With the democracy movement in a stand off, isn...t change better than this!
I suggest, Mr. Editor to conduct a poll on the Internet on your web site, to see if Tongans Overseas or in Tonga as a whole really wants change. Once and for all, a private poll on the Internet, on your web site for a public opinion. So, that we could see, once and for all that the majority of Tongans want this change, and that myself and many others will know for sure what is in the minds of Tongans everywhere? Whatever the poll lies, I definitely know my answer.
Yours truly,
William Mariner
