We focused as a group on mobility of of a place as opposed to a space. That is, the extension of an atmoshpere or a feeling.
Mobile homes for example. They move a sense of place or belonging. You feel comfortable in that space because it is familiar and it is where you would live more of your life for an extended period. In comparison, the difference between a mobile home or motor home and a tent is that a tent, (assuming that you don't normally live in a tent) can never replace the spaces and the feelings that you get from a more solid dwelling, mobile or not. This begs the question, can you really transport an atmoshpere?
With regards to parliamentary services, the biggest issue that we arrived at was that parliament is segregated from society. There is an 'us' and 'them' mentality which for our so called democratic process shouldn't actually exist. Why is it that Members of Parliament are people segregated from the rest of us?
Obviously they have added responsibility in addition to the general public, however they are elected members of our own communities, whose job is advocate for us on our behalf the rest of the Parliament. Why are they so inaccessible and unapproachable?
