Stop all the dilly-dallying and just table anti-hopping Bill, please


I REFER to the reports, “New date for anti-hopping Bill,” and “Delay or no delay, leaders say Bill needs to be tabled” (The Star, April 8; online at https://bit.ly/3NXL4zy and https://bit.ly/35Sgy97).

Why is it so difficult to put right what is so obviously wrong? Is it so hard to see that party hopping is intrinsically evil and a terrible betrayal of the trust voters put on the candidates they chose to represent them in Parliament and state legislative assemblies?
