I hope the current politicians of "Somaliland" will redeem themselves and initiate a constructive dialogue with their counterparts in Mogadishu for the sake of their people as well as for the good of Somali nation as a whole.

This doesn't at all mean these politicians would have initiated the invasion it if they had been in charge.

Some politicians, mostly representatives of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party ( Marija Aušrinė Pavilionienė ) and Liberals' Movement of the Republic of Lithuania ( Leonidas Donskis ) have expressed their support for LGBT rights and initiated few laws and resolutions supporting LGBT rights.

It ranks as one of the few instances in Australian political history when a politician initiated a reform knowing full well that it would put his own party at a disadvantage.
