Mulder, a sociologist, more prominent daid of Power Distance that people will tend work towards reducung the power distance between their superiors and themselves, while increasing the power distance themselves and those lower down the ladder. Politicians must hate election time. Few really, believe in democracy. Where are the citizen initiated referendums. Some Ancient Greek Cities called on citizens to serve [like our jury system] for a year in government to break-up the parties gaining too influence. Can you imagine the coalition and ALP agreeing that!

I said: Arjay's own little scare campaign: "If Kevin romps in with a huge margin,then we the electorate will not have the capacity to vote them out if they bring us asunder before the next poll." Duh!

So I asked Arjay: "We can vote him in but we can't vote him out? How does that work?"

And Arjay replies: "How is it a scare campaign Frank,when we are merely stating the facts and clarfying the reality."

Now, Arjay, I'm a slow but steady learner. How can we vote in a government this year but not vote them out if they flop? Can you "clarify the reality" please?

Poor old AJ
Thinks in the past
Is scared of the future
Is the true conservative

Rudd will not miss use his landslide as Howard did his, after all old John if he could would never do workchoices again.
Arjay your posts are on a notice board for my election night party thanks and regards

Frank you are not stupid.The more seats they have,the harder it is to vote them out.The long suffering people of NSW bear witness to this reality.

Not one of my detractors have challenged my statistics or facts that paint Labor's appalling track records.They are like economic paedophiles,put them near a pile of money and they just cannot help themselves.It is the nature of the beast I suppose,they have too many minority groups to appease and their power base comes from the Public Service Unions who account for 85% of all union power in this country.This is why Labor is a high taxing,big spending Govt.When Kevin Rudd was in charge of health in Queensland 60% of the health budget went on bureaucrats instead of front line services.

We have the same farce in NSW with every Govt department.Michael Coster himself has admitted to this,but the Unions did a deal with Morris Iemma and our lazy bureaucratic aristocracy reigned supreme.This is why Labor in NSW cries poor knowing full well it is a result of their own inepitude and nepotism.

For the last three elections Federal Labor have been an unelectable farce and now they have seduced a gullible ignorant young vote with rock populism.

Kevin and his spinmisters do not have the talent or discipline of the Hawke /Keating eras,so why should we have faith in their ability to see us through even more challenging times?

Arjay, how quickly you forget the undisciplined rabble that was the Coalition before they were elected. I laugh when I hear them claim Rudd and his ministers are too experienced, when I think of how inexperienced Howard's team was when they came to power.

Sure, Howard did have some experience... he'd been a treasurer in the past. Interest rates were never quite so high as the were under him, so I don't know whether that experience really counts as a plus.

You talk of ignorant youth being seduced, though I tend to think it's just as likely there are plenty of old voters, who are rusted on conservatives who wouldn't change their vote away from Liberal regardless of how incompetent they became.
I've made more specific points earlier and I don't see you really putting forward any specifics, so yes, I think it's valid to call your posts a simple scare campaign.
