Will the Vic Libs learn from this?

We are still seeing that Federal Labor did not accept that the loss of government was anything to do with them. They have not accepted that what they were doing was wrong or out of touch with the people, they are still sticking with policies that lost the election.
The Federal Liberal party are starting to go the same way and will have the same result as Victoria if they do not change their attitude

Now we have the Victorian Liberals loose government to an ineffective Labor Party with a record of disaster and bad government which left Victoria in a mess, the only consolation is that they, Labor will now have to try and fix the mess and debts that they left when they were last in power

So are all politicians plain and simply stupid, there was that old story about the dog sitting on the cactus howling because it was too stupid to get off the spikes, well politicians must be at the same level of intelligence because they do not have the capacity to learn either.

Either we, the people have to regain power to be able to kick these politicians out when necessary or change our whole system of government because the system is broke and we deserve better than we are getting.

We shall see in the next few months whether the Victorian Liberals will take a broom to their failed organization and bring in real change or will they will just re-arrange the deck chairs, again

The issue is that in uncertain times with deteriorating economic circumstances no one is going to vote for anyone who tells them that they need to live within their means and put up with cutbacks . We've seen the same scenario play out through Europe and of course culturally most Europeans are nothing like Australians who take it even worse

This of course is the conundrum for politicians of this era . Do I want power or do I want to map out a plan that is right . Well it's an easy answer for politicians of the left because they're going to do whatever they'd do in any economic circumstances ,so they're seen as saving people from terrible outcomes . For politicians of the right it's a far more difficult question one that they invariably shirk and end up with a hotch potch of ideas that appease those disaffected too strongly for them to stomach but not strongly enough to make any difference.

Ultimately countries just get run into the ground until it's self evident that drastic action is needed but of course by that time there are so many fringe and interest groups who get a political voice that righting the ship is all but impossible . Have a look at the makeup of the Victorian upper house for evidence.

In a nutshell that's what's happening to this country
