Australian Politics Forum - Change the Politicians Suck forum name

UnSubRocky Gold Member Offline Australian Legend Posts: 21726 Rockhampton, Q Gender:	Change the Politicians Suck forum name May 20^th, 2018 at 10:26am A simple change to "Politicians" would suffice. So sick of seeing that heading with the idea that some 13 year old wrote it.

I think yes, we all know that lots of politicians "suck" in lots of ways. However, I agree that it sounds very "14 yo American" and needs some updating to something that more reflects the general Australian consensus, because this is labelled as an Oz politics forum.

I'm comfortable for it to include politicians wordwide to a certain degree, but discussions there could also come under the topic of "thinking globally".

I like Yadda's suggestion to remind ourselves that they are (should be) our servants and not vica-versa.
It's been an observation of mine also where I think that we get bluffed into believing otherwise.
