I appreciate that the Member struggles with any form of reconciliation and that he nitpicks and niggles at everything that is negative and at the wounds and hurts of the past, but surely the Member's party can see some benefit in sharing this society and working to build a better community that everybody can benefit from, rather than picking at wounds and hurts.
