Dear Roger,

Would I consider founding a minor political party?

No. From observation of world politics Nations
that have multiple political parties have major
political and economic problems.

Australia with its current system has a far better
standing compared to these other Nations. As it is,
every time a new Party has made an attempt to establish
itself (One Nation, Democrats, Democratic Labor Party)
had a short existence. Australia, like the US, and
the UK, manages very well with a two major party system.

I pay $500 less tax than I would have otherwise, whilst still incurring a $1,000 cost.
Roger Brisbane,
And so it should be for everyone no exception. I'd much prefer a flat tax, no special benefit for one when the other doesn't get it either. Just think of how much lower insurance premiums could be & how much less we'd have to fork out for a whole range of subsidies.
If people want more money than do it by putting in more effort not take away more from those who already give too much.

What planet do you live on. The UK is a basket case and the US is on the brink of financial collapse and civil war.

Both parties in both countries are run by the same despotic, tyrannical, parasites that run ours!

Dear RM,

I'm pleased to see that you agree that we
therefore don't need any more political parties.

Lexi,
I totally agree. No more parties! Just better people as representatives. Lobby the existing Parties with visionary policies on the future development and problems Australia faces.

Josephus,
Please elucidate these "visionary policies" that will bring in "better people as representatives"? And in which ways will the people be "better"?
