My politics are fundamentally slightly right for the last 30 years or so.
I abhor the extremes on any side of anything including politics. I enjoy the banter but many barrack harder for their political team than they do for their football team and will never accept reason. Blinkered views just bashing their political bias. You can never reason with unreasonable people. However that is why many post on HC. They can let rip with their own personal bias where as in the real world they wouldn't be able to. I hate parliamentary privilege because it gives safety and impunity to childish offensive slurs. HC can be likewise however here there is at least a TOU button.
Broadly though my view is that government should be there to represent not rule. I believe the pendulum has swung way to far to the 'rule'. I think we the sheep enabled this. McGowan is riding on the crest of a wave because the sheep feel safe. We empower those that make us feel safe. Lemmings is probably a better term than sheep. Somewhere along the way governments became about being elected then re elected. Good governance became a by product. The LNP will probably lose the next federal election based on Morrisons unpopularity. We have become like America where it is more about popularity than policy. Seems to be that way the world over. Most don't know what each parties values or policies are and vote for their local member only as a proxy for the party leader. I have read here that some don't believe that Labor is a socialist party where as it's own constitution states that it is. So in my ideal world we have a conservative party with a strong social conscience. Either that or a benevolent King/Queen. What has happened to the The Murugappan family from Sri Lanka is about as abhorrent and uncaring as a government can get. That is one of the main reasons I am 'anyone but Dutton'.
