Chris Lewis said: There is no perfect political system. Most European democracies, like Australia’s Senate, also have proportional voting with its different models, which also gives minor parties greater power than warranted by their vote when there is a struggle for majority consensus on a particular issue.

I would like to suggest there was a politically near perfect system in place in the United Kingdom between 1372 and 1870, when lawyers were banned from Parliament for 498 years. 46 Edward III AD 1372 80. Lawyers and Sheriffs excluded from Parliament

Lawyers have their uses and I firmly believe they are like fire. They make wonderful servants, but as the Victorian Bushfires demonstrate, like fire, they make lousy masters. My good mate Jesus Christ reserved a special mention for them in His template for good government that has been a worldwide best seller since King James had it published in English in 1610. Luke 11 verses 46 and 42. The English took the Bible as their own special Constitution, from 1215 much to the disgust of the Roman Catholic Church, and its principles underpin the only successful republic ever formed, the United States of America.

Lawyers should be on the outside looking in to Parliament, not on the inside throwing stones at the population. Their use in society is in testing in the crucible of a properly conducted Christian trial, the legality or otherwise, of the deliberations of those who are elected to the National Synod. For the first time in nearly sixty years, Almighty God has given us a non Lawyer dominated Cabinet, and a Christian Prime Minister.

Chris Lewis is from a political school of thought propounded by Justice McHugh, and others of Roman Catholic heritage, that there is a Doctrine of Parliamentary Supremacy. That the divine right of Kings, supported by the Roman Catholic Church, is replaced with the divine Right of Parliament. Unfortunately in Australia we have nine of these Divine Deities, all competing to enslave their unfortunate victims. We should kick all lawyers out of Parliament and put them to work at a real job
