I wasn't talking about you. Sorry for the confusion.

...or, perhaps, you are so accustomed to your level of government control that it actually seems unreasonable for your federal leaders to remain silent on every private, state matter which exists??

They don't remain silent. Quite often they're forced to talk about them in official meetings of parliament; you know, where these things usually should be talked about. And they've been known to be flushed out of power when enough people don't like what they're saying, or doing. How does that work down there where you are?

No. I'm flabbergasted at how people are ignoring the context in which Pelosi said what she said.
