It is worrying to me that a person with so many people to advise her can just spout media sound bites and party line to answer genuine concerns. It is worrying that a person who wields such power can seem "petulant, defensive, tired and rattled" with the actions of a "Random Australian punter". It is worrying that a member of parliament is happy to use the phrase that she is "not obliged to be the voice of her constituents." It is worrying that the prime minister of a world power can lose her temper enough to point her finger into the face of a constituent and then try to excuse it by saying people do it to her.

There is plenty to worry about in the article itself but my final worry is that anyone would consider the questions as a waste of time and not being as pressing or real as anyone elses issues. BTW, for those who dismissed the article so quickly that they did not notice, it was by Louise Trethowan a "middle-aged family woman and lifetime Conservative voter".
