Unhappy High Commissioner

If I stayed in Scotland … I should have been able to heckle my member on questions of Imperial policy and vote for or against him on that ground. I went to Australia. I have been Prime Minister. But all the time I have had no say whatever. Now that can’t go on. There must be some change.
