Yes, and look what a mess NSW is in currently
under the Libs.

Oh Lexi so you would like Obeid and MacDonald and his mates back. Please!

I have much more to say.
However the author has constructed a fence around the subject trying to keep views not in favor out, see you in another thread.
Australia does not need more censorship.

Gentlemen:

The following link just might clarify some things
for you, although I doubt it.

But keep on singing from the same song-book.

I shall continue to correct your misinformation.
Occupational hazard and all that.

Residents Roundtables – I for one would like the politicians for whom we voted. Until we as a nation can achieve this the rest is academic and non-democratic. I started this thread March last year.

http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=5047#135441

When will we reap those for whom we vote?

The current crop of politicians in the House of Representatives is not representative of those Australians voted for. This is due to this countries disproportionate two party preferred system. A proportional system would have delivered Labour 57, Coalition 65, Greens 18, Others 10, seats in the House.

Queensland election was even more concerning. A system similar to the federal one delivered 88% of the seats to a party with a little less than 50% of the vote. A proportional system would have Labour 24, LNP 44, Greens 7, KAP 10, Others 4 seats.

There are many examples of proportional systems on this planet, the closest being New Zealand’s MMP system. Proportional systems give voice to minorities, retards the power of wealth, encourage haggling, but most importantly for better or worse distribute power proportionate to our wishes!

We need a government in power that is prepared to give up power. Until this non democratic system is dismantled we are doomed to repeat history.

I still say hang them this September!
