Nation First, Constituency Second
Members of Parliament (MPs) have a primary responsibility to make national decisions on governance, encompassing critical areas like health service laws, education funding, tax levels, and foreign policy.

The function of local councillors is to address community-specific issues, allowing MPs to focus on the larger political picture.
