👀 Opposition leader McTaggart promises to keep a close eye on UPM government

Opposition leader, Roy McTaggart, has stated that the Progressives will allow the United People’s Movement (UPM) government to form a budget, but will hold them accountable for their actions. This follows the recent political shakeup that saw Wayne Panton lose his position as premier. McTaggart has welcomed the decision to drop Panton and has stated that the Progressives will not hesitate to criticize the UPM if their performance does not improve. McTaggart believes that holding the government accountable is the job of the opposition and is satisfied that they have achieved their main objective of bringing about change. 📝

McTaggart expressed disappointment that his preferred option of some PACT members joining forces with the Progressives to form a government did not happen. However, he is satisfied that they have forced out Wayne Panton, a former colleague and founding member of the Progressives. The opposition leader has also stated that they will support the new UPM government in areas they agree are priorities, such as addressing the cost of living crisis, reducing crime, and improving access to affordable housing. Despite the change in leadership, public concern is growing about the reformation of the new government, with calls for a new general election gaining traction on social media. 🗳️
