Q&A - Brendan Horan, MP (Independent)

I really don't know him personally but I sent him an email anyway.  I find him interesting as a personality in the news.  My Q&A today is with Brendan Horan.  I emailed him early Sunday evening and here is his answer on a Tuesday morning.  I think if yesterday wasn't a public holiday, he should have answered me too.  He must be that kind of a person who goes to work quite early.

I'll not go into the other controversial details that has been reported by mainstream media already.  My purpose here is to to know the other side of him.  For me, he seems to be an honest person and am quite fascinated by his answers to my Q&A.  Thank you very much Brendan.
