Page 10 N.D.P. Try‘er Again by Glen Nazaruk New Demacratic Member of Parliament Svend Robinson was releived of his position as party justice critic last week for being ‘‘ too outspoken’. NDP’s fun Ed Broadbent's decision to replace Robinson came after some remarks made by him last month on BCTV’s ‘‘Webster’’ show. During the interveiw Robin- son made some comments on liberalizing the existing pros- titution laws in Canada. The ' repeal of laws against bawdy houses was discussed and this led to the assuption that this might lead local governments to decide to allow bawdy hous- es in certain instances. The NDP caucus susequently pass- ed a motion declaring that it does not support prostitution, Along with this Robinson has in the past defended homosex- uals in the army and called fin- ance minister Jean Cretien ‘‘a liar in response to a judicial report on the conduct of Just-. ice Thomas Berger of the B.C. Supreme Gaur” Prime Minister Trudeau later ridiculed Robinson regaurding the incident calling him a “Leng baby’’. What must be considered of the situation is this: must poli- | ticians be conformist in the NDP patty if they are to re- main in a responsible position. By raising these issues Rob- inson was merely echoing the sentiments of a large number of Canadian people. Many Canadians feel that the exist- ing prostitution laws are somewhat if not totally out- dated and place Canada in a primitive postion in regards to the prostitution laws in many European countries. If our politicians are not allowed to put themselves into controvercial positions regard- ing governmental policy, then how are these issues going to be brought to light in the Can- adian political arena? Ed Broadbent, by making this action has become the ‘‘preacher of conformist pol- icy’’ in the NDP party. Through these actions Robin- : son has proved that he will not ‘‘bend for a friend”’ i.e. Pierre Trudeau and will not remain conformist in a society which attempts to crush anyone who has the guts to be relitively outspoken on some important Canadian issues. Boo NDP. Yeah Svend Robinson. The Other Press Last chance! You could win our third 1983 Ford Mustang!
