It is an admission by many Barbadians that debates in Parliament, including the Lower House and the Senate have become rather lacking in enthusiasm, to put it politely.The fireworks that used to be a feature of the Senate during the tenure of former senator Caswell Franklyn and former Opposition Leader Bishop Joseph Atherley in the Lower Chamber, have dissipated.Though there are a few occasions when everyone is not singing from the same hymn sheet, there are some speakers from whom the public can expect interesting perspectives on legislative amendments, new laws, or simply topical issues.Among them is Government Senator Gregory Nicholls. Recently, he chided the Financial Services Commission (FSC) for possible regulatory over-reach into the management of credit unions.
