Subject: RE: Battle of Clontarf-round two/Comhaltas Interruptus
Why is Breandan the only one speaking for Comhaltas? Why, when he doesn't know the answer to a question, it just doesn't get answered? Comhaltas is made up of a whole group of people and don't tell me they're not reading this. Why are they ignoring questions they don't like by leaving everything to Breandan? That 6 year thing has still not been explained. It just keeps getting sidestepped. So let's try again:
WHY is there no provision in place for amending the constitution more often than every 6 years? 'I don't know' just isn't good enough. If Breandan doesn't know, get someone who does to come on board and justify it. If they can.
An institution that does not allow enough scope for its governing rules to be changed is unfair. The possibility of reform needs to be made more available because it's one of the ways you keep power in balance. It should be a basic right.
And I'm not talking about yearly elections. I'm talking about the constitution. So often in this thread when a question gets asked the only answer is Because the constitution says so. That may be a reason but it's not an explanation. Maybe the constitution needs an overhaul? Tough. You can't. Not for years yet. That's NOT FAIR. The only real answer on this has been silence. What does that tell you?
