Guess who's beginning to realise just how completely stupid he's been? 

      He was too used to being in Opposition, he assumed he could just continue using the same careless approach to the truth and the public would wear it unthinkingly.
      He actually believed HE won the election, rather than what really happened, Labor lost it!

     True enough, sadly so, we can only hope his arrogance or idiocy extends to calling a DD while the public outrage still lingers. He's misread nearly everything else, pray he's consistent in that if nothing else.

Thank heavens the grown-ups are back in charge.

Put it this way, Karnal

People vote OUT government

and the People voted out Labor


Now, why would they do that if Labor was serving the People well?

You getting it yet ?


ANY party seemed 'grown up' compared to Labor

Now, the People are seeing that there is NO actual two party system --- just the desperately maintained ILLUSION of choice

BOTH fake parties put the kybosh on talk of a Federal ICAC type organisation

BOTH fake parties hold hands as they vote themselves regular and massive pay increases

BOTH fake parties are mere mouthpieces for those who actually run and control this country

Labor is doing Eff All right now --------- noticed ?

Where's Wee Willy Shorten?  Why isn't he taking charge and sounding viable ?

WHY are increasing numbers of people --- BIG numbers of people -- saying they're going to give their vote to a completely untried PUP ?   It's unbelievable.  But it shows just how little trust and faith are enjoyed by either fake party

Australia is careening down the rapids towards the waterfall

and there's NO ONE at the rudder !


And you sit there with your mealy-mouthed, bitter little one liners, having spent your great big one vote that obviously achieved jack spit


Take a look around Karnal

Football's is over there -- on that oval -- see it.  All the creatures with no-neck and rotten mangoes in each cheek which apparently is a mandatory speech impediment for anyone wanting to be taken seriously as a 'footy hero'


and over here is real Australia, where people are losing their homes and businesses and families and livelihoods - with many taking their own lives


So here's the scoop --- footy is NOT politics

not supposed to be

People with even average IQ are NOT supposed to 'follow' their political 'team' blindly in the same way they boast they've 'followed' the Blues all their useless lives

Footy is ENTERTAINMENT, Karnal


Deciding which political party might offer the greater chance for the average Australian requires consideration, a modicum of intelligence and the necessity, very often, to vote without blind, moronic party loyalty, for the good of the country -- for the betterment of the majority


I know.  All too difficult for you

I agree with all that you say but go one step further and say, its time we demand a real democracy, a direct democracy. What's your reply?

Put ATM type machines all over the place

Allocate a PIN type number for everyone of voting age

All government proposals would be visible by scolling on the ATM type machines and online, etc.

The date proposed, by whom and the date when votes will conclude would be included within the information provided

Voters would be able to access the proposals 24/7

All proposals would be subject to majority Yay or Nay

Government would be merely the administrative arm of the People -- in other words, would be bean-counters, vote-tallyers

e.g. ' So and so has proposed purchase of twenty xyz fighter jets from Russia at a cost of $..... to be delivered in 12 months'.  Some might vote Yes.  Others, No.  Purchase would be dependent upon majority approval

e.g. ' So and so has proposed increasing politicians salaries by 26%, commencing July.  If approved, politicians would receive $X per year plus perks'.  Subject to majority approval

and so on

Under the current system, we are not asked, we are told.  Politicians are allocated portfolios in which they have no expertise.  Our lives are subject to influences whose identities are largely withheld from the paying public

I'm a great believer in Of the People, By the People, For the People.  Sure, it's hackneyed now, has been ground down to meaninglessness.  I also believe in majority rule - it works for the animal kingdom and we are, after all, a lower form of animal. And all empires which have catered to minorities have folded

There is no official name for my utopian scheme

Leadership not in question, says Abbott
