Nothing they have done in Parliament even for the past 20 years would make up for the damages they have instigated to the image of Tonga.

Since Friday, Tonga's People's Representatives and their supporters have presented two letters of petition to the Privy Council, calling for the resignation of the Prime Minister and all the Cabinet members.

The outrageous, shameful destruction in the island of Tongatapu reflects the spiritual dryness, lack of moral attitude, and disrespectful character of the Democrat Leaders. I am not surprised at what had happened because most Leaders of Tonga are mere church attenders and not Christian Doers. People needs Representatives who loves the Lord. -M. Vaikalafi
