This reporter believes that a voter should take in- to account that the candid- ate he votes for might woll end up on the opposition side. From that viewpoint, it might be a good idea for potential answer questions as to how they would view their roles if they were oppovition mem- bers. Some opposition mem- bers, for example, develop levels of personal bittern- ess toward those on the government benches which tend to squeeze all reason out of their legislative de- ating, thers do very little research on subjects about which they rise to speak on. Some aging opposition members grow tired of hav- ing been in office so long without being able to take a shot at a cabinet post. They give up, and thus tend not to serve their constitu- ents as well as they might. ie part the voters can play in this, I believe, is to evaluate candidates on the basis of the ability they might show in opposition as well as in government.
