Sending in troops to solve a labour dispute

It has often been said that being in opposition is easier than being in power, but who would have thought that our "pretty face" Prime Minister would see headlines this bad, this soon.

"Services to resume today as government ready to deploy forces," read the tagline on the front page of The Nation this morning. Reading down, yes, police and military will be deployed to take back trains and guard trains as the strike over corruption and equipment maintenance continues. Granted, it seems to be the Transport Minister's doing rather than the PM, but still, what kind of government sends in army troops to solve a labour union strike?

Let me repeat that, what kind of government sends in army troops to solve a labour union strike?

I had high hopes for this PM. I was wrong.
