Death threats against daylight savings MP

Death threats against daylight savings MP: "'Wherever you go it's like everybody wants to talk about daylight savings and nothing else,' he said."

Well, that's okay. People do need to talk about what is important to them and they ought to be able to talk about it as much as they want. it's the manner of the talk. The fact you can bring an issue up as a politician, you can ask for a referendum and then there are people who want to threaten and abuse you and your staff because they do not agree. Democracy is about discussing things. Not about scring and bullying and terrifying the living daylights out of people. Who would be a leader? WA was going to trial daylight saving. It appears a lot of people want to try it out. A trial. Then there was to be a referendum in 2009 to see if would be made permanent. It is out of hand if politicians are being threatened but it has obviously touched a raw nerve in WA. What is that? Why wouldn't you want to try something to see what it's like? Daylight saving? What are the benefits of not having it? Obviously all these things are being brought out intot he open but if some people are threatening politicians if they try it out then we do not have a democracy and no one can try out ideas. I hate messing about with the clocks, but I really like the longer daylight hours in summer. Everyone has an opinion but trying it out lets you see what it actually means.
