The phantom MP : Comments

By John Spender, published 26/3/2008

The ministerial casualties from the last elections are giving the impression that the Coalition is divided, dispirited, and not serious about its work.

Do you mean in the same way that your post is not whingeing or providing other alternatives DEMOS?

I don't think it is ignorance or laziness it is more a feeling of powerlessness. Unless we take up arms (which is sedition) the only thing we can do is vote with our feet or start a lobby group to push for more participatory democracy.

I often wonder what would happen if a large majority of Australians refused to vote at the next election as a protest whether that would have an effect or would it create disaster. Not sure on that one.

What gave all you people out there the idea that we have democracy? We had a dictatorship under Howard and look like continuing one under Rudd. I won't go back any further. The Yanks have one under Bush.

If these Coalition members are not happy with their revised (Opposition) pay and conditions, they should follow the same advice they gave to those whose pay and conditions were cut by the Coalition's WorkChoices. That is, "Not happy? Stop whingeing and go get another job. And stop bludging off the taxpayer!"
