PAT Says We Measure The Conduct Of Public Office Holders By Their Actions
Staying in green shows your keen
First You Have To find The Good In People
"Our great mistake, is to try to exact from each person virtues which he does not possess, and to neglect the cultivation of those which he has."
We have to focus on what is special and unique about them instead of zeroing in on the ways they are not as good as us. We have to be forgiving and patient, kind and appreciative. We have to engage with what they bring to the table; not lament the things they take from it. Then we have to work to make those people around us better… not write them off as hopeless and broken.
Working Great
Staying green shows your keen and following your obligations to the public interest and we appreciate your ongoing commitment to the common good of all as a public office holder.
A Friendly Reminder
You are reminded that you are accountable to the public for your decisions and actions including inaction and you must submit your selves to the scrutiny necessary to ensure this.
As Public office holders, you are under a legal obligation to provide strict proof that we are under any obligation to comply with either Council or Parliament's commands?
Should you attempt to enforce your will upon another it will be a breach of the People's peace by fraudulent misrepresentation, and unless you can prove lawful authority you hold personal liability as you are acting beyond your principal's authority and hence are no longer acting as their agent, but a free agent on personal liability.

Scope of the offence
Misconduct in public office is an offence at common law triable only on indictment. It carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. It is an offence confined to those who are public office holders and is committed when the office holder acts (or fails to act) in a way that constitutes a breach of the duties of that office.
