It stinks being the oft-ignored minority in the lower house, it really does.
Yeah, this is exactly what I was thinking when I heard this rant too. Most of us mere observers often feel alienated from government and decision-making and all that, and look at how much it frustrates us on the forum everyday! But to be actually in government and still be alienated by a majority, it must get incredibly frustrating.
I hear in New York, when you sign into the building you are recorded as voting yes on all bills that day unless you actually show up to vote. So the majority leader could be the only member of his party there and still be passing tons of bills.
