there's more than one problem. At bare minimum -------- these are huge issues
1. parties
2. political donations and access by people donating
3. Federation - a huge dogs breakfast
4. Aussies - a very conservative mob all up - no one wants change, or if they feel they want change - they don't want to swallow any pills that they don't know the outcome of - they have this frail need for 100% certainty - and, it's impossible.
5. Elections -
a. they attract the worst in society - egotists and nutters who think they are better than others
b. voters - you see many on here - omg, they shouldn't be driving, let alone voting
just going to independents and having no parties ------------ is merely one thing
