Can you explain the point of putting the PM position into the constitution?


To ensure accountability and provide stability.


How will it ensure accountability? Won't it make the PM unaccountable?

How would it provide stability in the case where a PM became unstable and the voting public, as well as their elected representatives, wanted to get rid of the PM to ensure stability?

Or when you say "ensure stability" did you mean job security for the elected PM, rather than recourse for a dissatisfied electorate?


Greg?


Greg why do you insist their proposal is a better system if you cannot even explain the point of it?

Why is the Australian Republican Movement even promoting a change that has absolutely nothing to do with being a republic and would destroy one of the best features of our democracy?


Which is?


The distribution of power. No single individual holds too much power. Our Prime Minister, supposedly the most powerful person in the country, could literally go insane and our system would cope quite easily. It could self-fix faster than a media cycle.

Can you explain the point of putting the PM position into the constitution?


You seem to be avoiding this one Greg. Would you like to retract your claim that the ARM proposal would be an improvement on our current system, seeing as you do not understand what the proposal is, or what the point of it is?

And what, if anything, it has to do with becoming a republic?

People don't get the idea of different types of president. It needs to be spelled out. Defining the PM is one way. People still don't get it.

Do you think it might be possible to explain it to them without putting it in the constitution? Or is the constitution more like a government-issued pamphlet?

Can you define what role the PM has under the ARM proposal?

It's been explained here and not understood.  The PM thing also and you keep asking the same q.

Are you repeating it because you can't think or read other people's plain words?

We want the PM booted and replaced with a PEP with certain powers in government...  as even the most fanatical among you know - the US Prez cannot simply dictate - but his policies must pass the Houses and the Courts - which are far more active in dissecting government stuff than our house pet courts are here (still dedicated as they are to maintianing, upholding and strengthening an ancient and now out-grown Feudal style of governance and even developing it back into a new form of neo-Feudalism with some self-appointed elite of essential idiots at the helm - BTW - our current PM IS insane) - and actually advancing the Cause of The People (just not the Commo people many mistake that for).

The Howard Paradigm wanted a 'president' elected by the government of the day - and we said - NO THANKS.  Now you all need to pause for five minutes and ask WHY that was so, and apparently most of you, bent as you are on your pursuit of chimeras and fairy castles filled with unicorns and such, STILL haven't begun to do so.

The REASON We, the People, said NO to Howard's Way was the same reason people are flooding to One Nation now... We, the People, want real and positive change - not just entrenchment of the Ancien Regime all over again - that regime wherein those 'at the top' (in their eyes anyway) romped freely in the fields of gold while literally shunning the peasants below, in between pissing on those peasants, the same as in any filthy, stinking, totally corrupt and utterly vile Third World nation controlled by the scum of the earth.

If Hanson is a neophyte Hitler filled to the brim with the imagination that she and she alone must wield power without constraint - that is the risk many are prepared to take in order to force the long over-needed change away from the entrenched elitist style of 'government' - something so long out of existence now as a viable way of life that it literally is ancient history - belonging more in the 17th century than the 21st.

Then add to your now cleared reasonng the reality that EVERY election here is stolen via the 'preference voting system'... stolen from The People it is supposed to serve and to give a voice to.  A gerrymander of the finest proportions, and you blindly accept it, and think it as normal as chopping off tits and balls of kids.

I told you so, and I continue to tell you so.  Ignore it as your peril - I am preparing for the civil war, very difficult work all on your own while surrounded by drones and morons.

We the people demand child labour in the coal mines, cat o nine tails in the schoolroom and bilge water, keel hauling and witch hunts. We obey Lord Ponsonby Cholmondeley as land lord over the servants, colonials tugging fore-lock and Howards in stolen seats.   The 17th century people are Australia's last hope and Hanson will bring purity to the race, fish to batter and red heads to rule.
