INDEPENDENT Senator Anthony Vieira said there was a simple way to get the independent senators to vote with the government.

In a message in response to questions from Newsday via WhatsApp, he said,

“If the government wants support from the independent bench, that’s easy - just give us cogent, compelling and persuasive arguments. Somehow I think that might work better than trying to demean and belittle us (even before the debate has started), or via veiled threats and attempts at intimidation.”
