I fail to see how making OWL a ministry is a solution to anything other than the lack of direct voter accountability. If we want to solve OWL’s issues than we need to talk about what OWL does and what exactly is lacking.

If we want to make OWL a ministry then let’s be honest about it. That’s a legitimate discussion. But it feels intellectually dishonest to claim that making OWL a ministry will solve things when, other than how the leader is selected, the core of the institution remains the same.

I know we pride ourselves of being the democratic region, but voter accountability isn’t a cure-all.
