Good choice but what's the point of having Cope when the government is there to protect every culprit.

Just another waste of public money! Commissions, reports and then after 30 years in the bin. 6 JVP MPs just make noise but are toothless and useless!

This is nothing related to JVP. Members from most parties represent COPE. If PM and Prez are toothless to punish criminals what do you expect JVP to do?
