Hi Maverick (Mavs),

Again you're right.

But it all goes deeper.

After watching, "The Insiders," this morning. Plus other
news outlets during the week I get the impression that
politics in this country today is still prone to
stereotyping, and prejudice rather than just simply
disagreeing over policy outcomes.

Politicians seem increasingly blind to their commonalities
seeing each other only as two teams fighting for a trophy.

Why can't they get to view their political opponents with
reasoned and unbiased eyes. Why can't they try to see the
world through partisan eyes?

Viewing each other as enemies - can bring on the temptations
and the dastardly
effects you're referring to.

Thanks Foxy

But I think you made a typo when you wrote "Why can't they try to see the
world through partisan eyes?"

Answer is They do see the world through partisan eyes.

To criticise and publicly belittle their political opponents is the best way to achieve the First Law of Politics, which is, Win The Next Election.

Cheers Mavs

Hi Maverick (Mavs),

Yes, but trying to win the next election by the
outmoded methods of attack - isn't working very well
is it? Voters are leaving those parties in droves
looking for alternative choices. And if politics doesn't
change these parties with their outmoded tactics -
will be left out in the cold for decades.

It doesn't matter who wins the next election. Because of our self-interested career politicians, 2.5 million or so public servants, victims, snouts in troughs, Australia will, sooner or later, end up like Peronist Argentina.
