The Traffic

interrogate, but I do not wish to abuse my welcome by taking any more time. 

My central message is to urge us to be very rigorous as we debate this potentially monumental choice. It must not simply be a choice between escaping from where it seems not to be working and what failed calamitously. That would be a false choice or no choice. 

In conclusion therefore, I would urge that we think very deeply, ask ourselves why the parliamentary system failed us so woefully and whether we have overcome or can overcome those reasons.

In addition to querying the system, we must query ourselves and decide whether we are the problem instead of the system.

If we do these, we will find convergence at the point where we resolve to focus less on power and resource sharing and more on optimizing existing powers and resources for collective benefit.

All told, we must reflect very deeply, interrogate intensely and look very hard before we leap.

Thank you for listening.
