ALTRAV said- "In doing so he will satisfy that sector of the population who want to see fair and honest outcomes for all concerned and not just satisfy the demands of select groups, minorities and lobbyists."

Answer- The general spirit is interesting.

There are a few democratic principles that seem relevant-
Government of the people, by the people, for the people- ie no disproportionate influence by lobby groups. But could use group leadership to represent group interest. The best way to ensure that the interests of people are served is to give them the power over their domain. In the case of complex group interests give them proportional power- even the ideal benevolent dictator is harmful.
Government levels should reflect the natural cultures that have developed over hundreds and thousands of years- for stability- different cultures have different principles- if different cultures mix someone needs to give up their principles. If someone lives, trades, etc in another cultures land they need to fit in with the host culture and not try to dominate the culture for peaces sake. Local communities need to be able to manage their borders for the principle of "self determination". The different levels of government need to reflect the natural cadence of people- individual, family, street, local shopping district, city, state, nation, region, world. Each of these levels have the right to self determination to thrive or decline based on their good or bad management. You wouldn't want to arbitrarily damage or reduce participation by particular groups except in the case that the groups seek to damage the community. A captured army added to an army increases its strength but needs to be aware of insurrection. There have been numerous cases breeding programs throughout history to remove certain cultures. There have been insurrection within cultures- stable cultures need to have ways of managing insurrection within their ranks. Reform is tolerated- with a majority- soft power- not revolution. A sign of insurrection- unrepresentative power, laws. The majority should try to find ways to meet minority needs if they can without undermining the rights of the majority.

The average voters have to take a good look at themselves too. Let's face it the average voters & particularly in Australia are highly opportunistic. How many do really care about the Nation other than from what they can get for themselves, no matter how others are faring.
We have the evidence on forums so there's no point in wasting time trying to deny it.
Voters need to look up integrity & what it means & does.
So, don't criticise a leader when you're no better or even worse of character yourself. Hypocrisy is a dreadful trait & going by the content of of many comments it's already replaced decency by 2:1. The most capable captain can't run a ship with an indisciplined crew.
