Policy statement easy to pull apart but what do we offer in return

It always amazes me at council to see the slow and painful pleasure certain individuals take in pulling apart policy But have the total lack of ability to offer realistic alternatives.It confounds me sometimes that if the shoe was on the other foot what would certain people do? you can argue till your blue in the face that what the other person is saying is wrong but then to sit back with a smirk and offer nothing in return is ludicrous. i suppose being in a third party on the back benches takes any pressure of me. But i would hope if ever i was put in a position i could at least answer.
