Political Position
The political focus is centered on internal security and public order, highlighting the protection of the elderly from widespread telephone scams. The speaker considers these scams a far greater security threat than the narrow subject of investigation for which a response was expected. This position is highly critical of the respondent's actions, given that this significant threat has completely fallen outside the scope of observation.
