Opposition MPs are not aligned with the Government. If they were, they would not be in opposition.

It is against their very own principle if opposition MPs are forced to relay or explain the government’s position or policies to the people.

It would be unfair to put opposition MPs in that position of having to be a spokesperson for the government when in reality, their ideological principles differ from that of the government.

For example, can you expect an opposition MP to explain to their residents why a GST hike is necessary in the future? Or why water tariff had to go up? Or why it is important to remain very prudent in the use of reserves?

Fundamentally that is the reason why opposition MPs are not appointed by the government.
