Hooray! The people have spoken through the HST referendum.
After all, the people we have been in contact with during the HST petition, the conversations were mostly centered around having government that was accountable to the electorate, not dictatorial governments.
To me this vote shows that the public is pushing back on big government and wanting in and having a say in how their government is run.
Time for all governments to listen up. We all want truth, transparency and good government for the people.
Congratulations to all those who participated in any and every way.
