Please indulge my question as I am hoping that an esteemed member of the Social Media Classes may have the answer!
All these politicians who already have jobs on the largess of the tax and ratepayer are now running around in what are NORMAL WORKING hours campaigning for their parties and themselves to stay in a job! *
MY QUESTION IS: Do they put in for annual or unpaid leave in order to do their electioneering?
I know for a fact that any normal employer will NOT allow an employee to just run around the country, province, city or town and neglect the actual job for which they are paid!
* IF they had done a good job these past 5 years then there should be no need to campaign now should there?
